    Powering Fuel Blending with Reliable N-Butane

    N-butane is a normal-chain, saturated C4 hydrocarbon and a core component of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), existing as a colorless gas that is easily liquefied under moderate pressure. It is used primarily for motor gasoline blending, as a petrochemical feedstock for isomerization into isobutane and downstream MTBE and alkylate production, and as a propellant and refrigerant blend component. Prime Elements sources and supplies n-butane to specification from qualified refineries and gas processing plants.

    Consistent Quality and Performance

    Thanks to our relationships with refineries and gas processing plants, Prime Elements supplies n-butane with stable purity and consistent vapor pressure. Every shipment is tested for n-butane content, isobutane cross-contamination, sulfur, and moisture to meet blending and feedstock specifications.

    Trusted Logistics Partner

    We understand how vital timely delivery is for blending and petrochemical schedules. Our logistics network — combining LPG carriers, rail tank cars, and ISO tank containers — keeps n-butane moving reliably from loading to delivery, in bulk or smaller parcel sizes.

    Compliance and Sustainability

    N-butane is handled and transported in line with REACH and international LPG transport regulations (ADR/IMDG). As a flammable, pressurized gas it requires careful handling and storage; we apply strict safety and containment practices to limit venting and fugitive emissions across the supply chain.

    Why Choose N-Butane from Prime Elements?

    High Purity: Consistent n-butane content for blending and feedstock use.

    Reliable Supply Chain: Established refinery and gas-processing partnerships.

    Regulatory Compliance: Full conformity with REACH and LPG transport rules.

    Technical Support: Guidance on vapor pressure, blending ratios, and handling.

    Choose Prime Elements as your partner in dependable n-butane supply for fuel blending and petrochemical feedstock needs.

    N-butane is used mainly as a blending component for motor gasoline and LPG, and as a feedstock for petrochemical synthesis.

    Typical applications include:

    • Motor gasoline blending (vapor pressure / RVP control)
    • Petrochemical feedstock (isomerization to isobutane, MTBE and alkylate production)
    • LPG component blending
    • Aerosol propellant
    • Refrigerant blending
    • Fuel component / autogas blending

    Its normal-chain structure and predictable vapor pressure make n-butane well suited to precise blending and isomerization processes.

    Parameter Unit Typical Range
    n-Butane content % > 95
    Isobutane content % < 3
    Propane and lighter % < 2
