- Refrigeration and Air - Conditioning: It is used as a refrigerant in some refrigeration systems. Isobutane has good thermodynamic properties, which can effectively achieve the refrigeration effect. It is environmentally friendly with a low ozone - depletion potential and a relatively low global - warming potential, making it a suitable alternative to some traditional refrigerants.
- Aerosol Propellant: Isobutane is commonly used as an aerosol propellant. It can generate sufficient pressure to push the contents out of the aerosol container. It is widely used in products such as spray paints, deodorants, and hairsprays.
- Chemical Synthesis: It serves as a raw material in chemical synthesis. For example, it can be used to produce isobutylene through dehydrogenation, which is an important intermediate for the production of many chemicals, including polymers, rubber, and detergents.
- Fuel: Isobutane can be used as a fuel. It has a relatively high energy content and can be burned to release heat. It is sometimes used in portable stoves and camping heaters. In addition, it can be blended with other fuels, such as gasoline, to improve the fuel's octane rating and combustion characteristics.
- Foam Blowing Agent: In the production of foams, such as polyurethane foams, isobutane is used as a blowing agent. It helps to create the porous structure of the foam by generating gas bubbles during the polymerization process




Q1: Can I get some samples?
A: Yes, sure. Usually, we can provide free samples for less than 5 kg, but the customer needs to pay for the shipping.
Q2: What is your MOQ?
A: The minimum order quantity varies for different products, with most requiring a minimum of 1 ton. However, we can accommodate smaller quantities, such as 100kg, with a 100% sample charge.
Q3: How to confirm product quality before placing an order?
