Butane Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- N-Butane
Butane supplier for petrochemical, aerosol, refrigeration and industrial manufacturing buyers in Malaysia. This page covers normal butane, or n-butane, identified by CAS 106-97-8 and formula C4H10. Isobutane and mixed LPG streams are separate products with different composition specifications.
Commercial requirements include industrial n-butane, purified aerosol-propellant material and refrigerant-grade gas. N-butane is colourless and commonly handled as a liquefied gas under pressure. Buyers should define purity, the propane and isobutane profile, moisture, sulphur, residue and other limits relevant to the process.
Refineries and petrochemical plants use n-butane as a feed or blending component, while manufacturers specify it for aerosols, polymer foaming and refrigeration systems. Food and personal-care applications require a purpose-qualified grade rather than a general industrial stream.
Send the required grade, purity and impurity specification, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, supply format, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

BUTANE grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Industrial n-butane | liquefied hydrocarbon gas | n-butane purity and hydrocarbon composition confirmed against the required specification | Refinery, petrochemical, fuel-blending and process applications where normal butane is specified rather than isobutane or a mixed LPG stream. | Supply format is confirmed with the quotation. |
| Aerosol-propellant n-butane | purified liquefied propellant gas | purity, moisture, sulphur, residue and odour controls confirmed against the required specification | Aerosol and technical-spray manufacture where n-butane is named as the propellant component and formulation-grade impurity controls are required. | Supply format is confirmed with the quotation. |
| Refrigerant-grade n-butane | high-purity liquefied gas | purity, moisture, acidity and non-condensable controls confirmed against the required specification | Refrigeration systems and appliance manufacture where normal butane is specified as the refrigerant rather than another C4 hydrocarbon. | Supply format is confirmed with the quotation. |

BUTANE applications
Common questions about BUTANE
Is butane on this page normal butane or isobutane?
This page covers normal butane, also written n-butane, identified by CAS 106-97-8. Isobutane is a structural isomer with a separate identity and catalogue page. State the full name and CAS so the two gases are not confused.
Is n-butane the same as LPG?
No. N-butane is one defined hydrocarbon, while LPG is commonly a commercial blend that may contain propane, butane and other light hydrocarbons. A buyer needing controlled n-butane purity should not order only by the term LPG.
How is butane supplied for industrial use?
N-butane is a gas at ordinary ambient conditions and is commonly handled as a liquefied gas under pressure. The suitable supply format, connection, quantity and delivery arrangement depend on the site and are confirmed with the quotation.
What distinguishes aerosol-propellant n-butane?
Propellant grades use controlled purity, moisture, sulphur, residue and odour specifications suited to the aerosol formulation. The complete impurity profile and finished-product application should be stated in the enquiry.
What should be specified for refrigerant-grade n-butane?
Buyers commonly define n-butane purity together with moisture, acidity, non-condensables and hydrocarbon impurity limits. Provide the equipment or refrigerant specification so the quotation can address the correct grade.
Can industrial butane be used in food or personal-care aerosols?
Suitability should not be assumed. These applications require a specifically qualified propellant grade and documentation matched to the finished product. State the application and impurity limits with the enquiry. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.
What documentation and supply details can be requested?
List the required product and batch documents, supply interface and site constraints in the enquiry. Available documentation, supply format and delivery arrangements are confirmed for the quoted grade.
What details are needed for a butane price quotation?
Provide the industrial, propellant or refrigerant grade, purity and impurity specification, quantity and delivery location. Clarify whether normal butane is required so the request is not confused with isobutane or an LPG blend.
