Browse n-Butane and n-Butane Blends

Butane (also referred to as n-Tane) and Butane Propane mixes can be used as a blended solvent in the extraction process to obtain a BHO. The top blend choice for extraction is 70% butane / 30% propane. This blend allows the solvent to extract a fuller terpene profile and generally contributes to a lighter color of teh BHO as compared to 100% butane extraction.

Our n-Butane and n-Butane Propane blends are high purity when intended for use as an extraction solvent. Our cylinders are cleaned before every fill.

n-Butane is primarily used as a heating and cooking fuel.

n-Butane finds widespread use as a motor fuel, e.g. for forklifts, especially under conditions where conventional fuel exhausts would not be desirable like the inside of buildings.

n-Butane is used as a component in calibration gases for the gas, oil and chemical industries. It is also used as a standard fuel gas for the calibration of burners.

Very pure forms of n-Butane can be used in refrigeration applications, replacing ozone depeleting halocarbons. It has the Ashrae Number R-600.

n-Butane is also used as an aerosol propellant, either pure or mixed with other hydrocarbons.

n-Butane is used as a chemical intermediate in the manufacture of a variety of organic chemicals:

• Acetic acid
• Butadiene, used as a raw material for the production of synthetic rubbers
• Butenes employed for the production of butadienes, maleic anhydride and polybutenes
• Ethene
• Propylene
