Butane SDS
📄 Butane SDS PDF download, GHS classification, CAS 106-97-8, hazard statements, and industrial safety information.
Butane is a highly flammable hydrocarbon gas commonly used as a fuel in lighters, portable stoves, aerosol propellants, and LPG systems. It is easily liquefied under moderate pressure and stored in pressurized containers. Because butane forms explosive mixtures with air, proper storage and ventilation are essential.
What is Butane?
- Hydrocarbon gas with chemical formula C₄H₁₀
