ISOBUTANE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Isobutane is a colorless, flammable gas with a slight gasoline-like odor, used in various industrial and consumer applications. It is primarily employed as a refrigerant, propellant in aerosol sprays, and as a fuel for portable stoves and lighters. Isobutane is also used in the petrochemical industry as a feedstock for the production of isooctane and other chemicals. Despite its utility, isobutane poses significant safety hazards due to its flammability and potential for explosive mixtures with air. Proper handling, storage, and stringent safety measures are essential to minimize risks and ensure safe usage. Adequate ventilation and leak detection systems are crucial in industrial settings.
