11.3.1
Propane gas
Propane is a colourless and odourless gas. Propane is capable of gasification down to -42 °C.
Propane is suitable for winter camping.
Propane is highly flammable, heavier than air and, in high concentrations, has a narcotising to
suffocating effect.
11.3.2
Butane gas
Butane occurs in two different versions (isomers): Isobutane and n-butane.
Isobutane and n-butane are liquid gases that are generated when crude oil is distilled.
Isobutane gasifies at -12 °C, n-butane at -0.5 °C. Th is means, butane is unsuitable for use in
winter. Between the seasons, a mixture of butane and propane gas can also be used.
11.3.3
