    Application of Isobutane

    Purity 99.5%: Isobutane with purity 99.5% is used in refrigeration compressor systems, where high purity ensures efficient heat transfer and low compressor wear.

    Molecular weight 58.12 g/mol: Isobutane of molecular weight 58.12 g/mol is used as an aerosol propellant, where consistent vapor pressure delivers uniform product dispersion.

    Boiling point –11.7°C: Isobutane with a boiling point of –11.7°C is used in domestic refrigerator coolants, where rapid vaporization enables effective cooling performance.

    Stability temperature 60°C: Isobutane with a stability temperature of 60°C is used in foam blowing agents for insulation panels, where thermal stability prevents decomposition during processing.

    Distillation range 0.5°C: Isobutane with a narrow distillation range of 0.5°C is used in calibration gas mixtures, where tight boiling range assures reliable analytical measurements.

    Water content <10 ppm: Isobutane with water content below 10 ppm is used in polymerization catalyst systems, where low moisture prevents catalyst deactivation and improves polymer yield.

    Sulfur content <1 ppm: Isobutane with sulfur content less than 1 ppm is used in petrochemical feedstock cracking, where ultra-low sulfur minimizes catalyst fouling and emission formation.

    Pressure rating 8 bar: Isobutane stored at a pressure rating of 8 bar is used in LPG blending operations, where pressure compatibility guarantees safe transfer and storage.

    Residue on evaporation <0.01%: Isobutane with residue on evaporation less than 0.01% is used in pharmaceutical aerosol manufacturing, where low residue ensures product purity and compliance.

    Odor threshold <1 ppb: Isobutane with an odor threshold below 1 ppb is used in food packaging propellants, where minimal odor presence maintains consumer product quality.

    Packing & Storage
    Packing Isobutane is packaged in a 99.5% pure, 20-liter steel cylinder, equipped with a secure valve and warning hazard labels.
    Container Loading (20′ FCL) **Container Loading (20′ FCL) for Isobutane:** Typically loaded in ISO tanks; a 20′ FCL can carry around 17-19 metric tons of Isobutane gas.
    Shipping Isobutane is shipped as a liquefied, flammable gas under pressure in approved steel cylinders or tank trucks. It must be labeled as a hazardous material, with proper ventilation and temperature controls. Handling requires adherence to safety regulations, avoiding heat, sparks, and open flames due to its high flammability and explosion risk.
    Storage Isobutane should be stored in tightly closed cylinders or tanks in a cool, well-ventilated area away from sources of heat, sparks, open flames, and direct sunlight. Storage vessels must be designed for pressurized, flammable gases and equipped with safety valves. Proper grounding and bonding are essential to prevent static discharge. Keep separate from oxidizing agents and incompatible chemicals.
    Shelf Life Isobutane typically has an indefinite shelf life when stored properly in tightly sealed containers away from heat, ignition sources, and moisture.
