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

Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is a flammable hydrocarbon gas, typically a mixture of propane and butane, used as a fuel for heating, cooking, and in vehicles. It is also employed as a refrigerant, in aerosol propellants, and in the petrochemical industry. LPG is stored under pressure in liquid form and vaporizes upon release, providing a convenient and efficient energy source. Despite its utility, LPG 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.
