Isobutane（Cat No.:M007418）, is a colorless, flammable gas that is part of the alkane family of hydrocarbons. It is also known as 2-methylpropane due to its structural formula. Isobutane is widely used as a refrigerant in household and commercial refrigeration systems, often replacing chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) refrigerants due to environmental concerns. Additionally, it is employed as a propellant in aerosol products like deodorants and spray paints. Its low boiling point and high vapor pressure at room temperature make it suitable for these applications. Isobutane’s properties contribute to its role in various consumer and industrial products.
