''Butane'' is also used as a collective term for ''n''-butane together with its only other isomer, '''''iso''-butane (also called ''i''-butane, isobutane, or 2-methylpropane'''), CH3CH(CH3)2.

Butane gas is sold bottled as a fuel for cooking and camping, in which case it is referred to commercially as Liquified_petroleum_gas, or, in the UK, ''calor gas''. It is also used as a petrol component, as a feedstock for the production of base petrochemicals in steam cracking, as fuel for cigarette lighters and as a propellant in aerosol sprays. Recent concerns with depletion of the ozone layer by freon gases have led to increased use of isobutane as a gas for refrigeration systems, especially in domestic refrigerators and freezers. When used as a refrigerant, isobutane is also known as R600a. == See also == * Volatile substance abuse == External links == * [http://www.it.swin.edu.au/personal/fwang/Mom/Mom_butane.html ''n''-Butane], [http://www.chm.bris.ac.uk/motm/motm.htm Molecule of the Month].

It seems Butane is quite lethal when inhaled, can we get something on this plz ---- Perhaps it would have been better to split into one n-butane and one isobutane subpage? : An article this short? it's barely 1 screen in length. we'd just get 2 stubs -- User:Tarquin 20:09 Jan 23, 2003 (UTC) I read something about 'butane abuse'. Who can enligthen the world on this subject? --- Does anyone have a pressure/temperature chart or table for Butane? If so, could it be added to this page? == hair mousse == I wanted 2 c what my hair products contain and found that iso butane is one of the ingredients in a hair mousse bottle. It was listed as no.4. Why so much and what does it really do there??? xxx == origins == It was not clear to me from the artical the origin of the gas, is a modified version of gas from the ground like you cook with or perhaps a petrolium derivative or from another source altoghether? I've found out since its a petroleum (crude oil) derivative in a family called "aliphatic hydrocarbons" basically various combinations of carbon and hydrogen molecules, I think all the articals about the various members the family all very much stand-alone and would be good to see them all standardsed all well as having articals about advantages/disadvantages of butane over propane like butane burns hotter but is not good at cold tempratures
