methylethylmethane
Notes:
Aerosol propellant
Butane is a gas with the formula C4H10 that is an alkane with four carbon atoms. The term may refer to any of two structural isomers, or to a mixture of them: in the IUPAC nomenclature, however, butane refers only to the unbranched n-butane isomer; the other one being called "methylpropane" or isobutane.

| Formulations/Preparations: •grades: research, 99.99 mole %; pure, 99 mole %; technical, 95 mole %; also available in various mixtures with isobutane, propane, pentanes, etc. •propane is the principal ingredient of bottled gas particularly in northern states, whereas butane with its considerably higher boiling and freezing points is more widely used in warmer southern states. mixtures of the two are also common. | |
