LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GAS Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Liquefied petroleum gas, commonly called LPG, is a flammable hydrocarbon fuel consisting primarily of propane, butane, or propane butane mixtures. It is widely used for heating, cooking, vehicle fuel, aerosol propellants, and various petrochemical processes. Stored under pressure as a liquid, LPG rapidly vaporizes when released and can form explosive mixtures with air. In LPG handling equipment, O-rings, rubber seals, gaskets, and plastic components must be evaluated for chemical compatibility and pressure performance. Proper storage, leak detection, ventilation, and safe handling procedures are essential to reduce fire and explosion risks.
