Application
Propane is used as a feedstock for the production of base petrochemicals in steam cracking.
Propane is also instrumental in providing off-the-grid refrigeration, usually by means of a gas absorption refrigerator.
Some propane becomes a feedstock for propyl alcohol, a common solvent.
Propane is the primary fuel for hot air balloons.
It is used in semiconductor manufacture to deposit silicon carbide.
Liquid propane is commonly used in theme parks and in the movie industry as an inexpensive, high-energy fuel for explosions and other special effects.
Propane is commonly used as a propellant for Paintball and Airsoft guns, relying on the expansion of the gas to fire the projectile.
