Application of isobutane in sprays
Aerosol Sprays: Lifesavers for American Soldiers in World War II In 1926, a Norwegian engineer named Erik Rotheim invented and patented the first aerosol spray. He was able to design a can that used propellant gases to disperse liquids as fine particles. However, at that time, the technology was not widely adopted, partly due to […]
What is Isobutane?
What is Isobutane? Isobutane, also known as 2-methylpropane, is an isomer of butane that has four carbon atoms and ten hydrogen atoms in its structure (C4H10). As a saturated hydrocarbon, isobutane is widely used in various industries due to its unique physical and chemical properties. This article examines the structure, properties, production, and applications of […]
Safety tips for liquefied gas cylinders
Flammability, the double-edged sword of LPG The flammability of LPG, which provides us with the great benefit of abundant heat and energy, can sometimes also bring risks and damages. This characteristic acts like a double-edged sword; on the one hand, it is a useful and efficient source of energy, and on the other hand, if […]

Light hydrocarbon analysis and sales conditions
Introduction to Light Hydrocarbons As mentioned in the article “What is a Light Hydrocarbon,” light hydrocarbons are those that contain 5 to 12 carbon atoms in their carbon chain. These hydrocarbons are derived from various sources and are not exclusively extracted from crude oil. In addition to crude oil, natural gas, gas condensates, and even […]
What is chlorinated paraffin?
Introduction to Chlorinated Paraffin Chlorinated paraffin is a chemical compound produced by the chlorination of paraffin and appears as an oily liquid or waxy solid. Chlorination is a process in which chlorine is added to paraffin molecules to alter their structure. This process replaces the hydrogen atoms in regular paraffin with chlorine atoms, resulting in […]
Complete information about liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)
Introduction Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), as one of the most widely used energy sources in today’s world, plays a vital role in many industries and in people’s daily lives. From fueling vehicles to being used in household kitchens, this clean and affordable energy source has steadily gained its place among other fossil fuels. But this […]
What is Diesel Fuel?
Diesel fuel is a liquid fossil fuel composed of relatively heavy hydrocarbons and is also referred to as diesel fuel. This fuel is usually produced through the fractional distillation of crude oil and is widely used in diesel engines. In this article, we will thoroughly examine diesel fuel, discussing its properties, applications, and potential hazards. […]
What is a heavy hydrocarbon ?
What is heavy hydrocarbon? Heavy hydrocarbons are typically defined as hydrocarbons whose carbon chain contains more than 12 carbon atoms. These compounds are found in heavy crude oil and heavy fuels such as fuel oil and heavy diesel. What do heavy hydrocarbons consist of? Heavy hydrocarbons refer to compounds that have longer and more complex […]
