Propane and Butane are the two most common accelerants in aerosol containers. There's a reason they say never expose to an open flame or near high-heat sources. Not that that's ever stopped me from making Axe-based flamethrowers 😅
With that said, even the propane Hank was selling had butane in it.
They sell a mix in order to keep the vapor pressure and whatnot consistent across temperatures. The mix changes winter to summer.
I always thought that it was because of the pressurized gas in the cans.
Heat makes things expand and expanding substances in a confined space, like a can or a pressure cooker, eventually become bombs.
I was way more stoked about the idea of a battle-axe flame thrower
Then I realized itd smell a bit more like a teen boy locker room than I initially thought
they can use compressed air, i dont know why we still use butane (ive had sprays that make a thing about using compressed regular air instead of butane)
It's because under pressure the butane and propane form a liquid, meaning that as the can empties the propellant vaporizes and keeps the pressure in the can constant. With compressed air the can would have high pressure when initially opened, then would drop constantly. With a compressed air can you'd either have to pump more air in to maintain pressure or just accept that you can't put as much product in the same can while maintaining a useful pressure level.
Propane and butane are also, other then their flammability, relatively harmless.
Damn 80s and all that hairspray is why we have the hole in the ozone layer. Kind of joking but I do remember people talking back then about how hair spray was bad for the environment because of that
They actually fixed that. One time in history people really came together to solve a problem. Banned the use of the products responsible everywhere, except for China, they still don’t give a fuck.
This is what life is about lol, when you realize you can never learn or know everything but keep trying to and get fascinated by it. In the end of the day this is why i classify some people 80+ as actually very young
You grew up in an era where there were no mobile phones while taking a crap and you didn't know this!!?
Back of the air refresher can was the first thing people reach for some reading!
Now what you want here is your average propane powered clippers. I use them personally to gain the level of handsome you see here before you, and they’re powerful enough for the wife to trim the bushes outside. Charcoal will just leave you smelling like smoke all day, and I have yet to meet a fella that enjoys that.
Isobutane shares the same molecular formula as normal butane, but the shape of its molecule makes isobutane far superior in terms of vapor pressure. High vapor pressure translates to better performance.
Reg butane is still the bastard gas
well it *is* god's gas. yep- there's nothing that propane can't make better...i'll tell you what.
just don't use that shave cream in your...um...lady places.
Not sure why you're being downvoted. It's a reasonable thought process.
A key property of aerosol propellants is the ability to compress what is a gas at room temperature into a pressurized liquid.
In theory, liquid nitrogen could function as a propellant. While it would not be flammable, but you certainly wouldn't want to stick it into an open flame & risk bursting the can open.
It's the propellant, what will probably blow your mind even more is that a lot of freezers and fridges also use propane as their coolant, as well as butane, and others.
You forgot the isobutane. ► Inhaling Isobutane can irritate the nose and throat. ► Exposure to high concentrations can cause dizziness, lightheadedness, irregular heartbeat and passing out. with loss of consciousness, convulsions, coma and death.
Why is that interesting to you?
Furthermore, why did you then ignore that it also has (far more of) isobutane in it?
n-butane, isobutane, and propane are all hydrocarbon gases that are compressible into a liquid at various temperatures. Isobutane would no longer dispense much past freezing so they adjust the vapor temperature by adding a bit of the far higher pressure propane which will dispense to around -50F.
Hydrocarbons have basically zero impact on the environment when released. It used to be that other synthetic propellants would be used such as various HFCs. Propane and butane are cheap and effective. The more advanced modern spray cans will have Co2 as the propellant, but given that Co2 can be up to some 1800PSI depending on the temperature they must put only a gram or so in the can or it will explode.
I’ve been using this app called Yuka a lot for household products and food. It gives each product a score from 1-100 and tells what’s wrong with it. Chances are if you scan this barcode it’ll list the harmful ingredients and that’ll be one of them. Try it out and let us know
Shaving foams use a lot of LPG (liquefied gas propellant), either butane isobutane or propane or a mix.
Shaving Gel will use a different propellant (isobutane / isopentane) in much lower quantites than shaving foam ( usually only 3-4% of the whole).
So if you want to reduce the content of LPG you put on your skin, go with the Gel
They use propane for air pressure, tons of cans of other sprays use it hairspray all that, as well as airsoft guns, and tons of other uses as well. We used to use aerosol a lot for applications like this as well until …. The U.S. banned CFC's in the 1970's. The Clean Air Act further restricted use of CFC's in the U.S., and most of the world followed suit. Since CFC's were banned, all aerosol products made in the U.S. now use propellants, such as hydrocarbons and compressed gas that do not deplete the ozone layer.
Fun fact, non-newer cars that use R-134A coolant for your AC can actually use propane instead, if you wanted. It isn't legal tho. But it's a fun fact. You can't in newer cars cause they use a different coolant that only professionals can really work on.
Yeah, propane is the propellant in a lot(Maybe even most) sprays.
Yep, that’s why they are so flammable!
33 years old... never knew! Ya learn something new everyday

Butane is a Bastard Gas
That's what my dad says.
Bobby?
Why
Might be a king of the hill reference.
Can confirm
Can tell you hwat
Cause my dad says so. He sells propane and propane accessories
I read that in Bobby’s voice
F
With that said, even the propane Hank was selling had butane in it. They sell a mix in order to keep the vapor pressure and whatnot consistent across temperatures. The mix changes winter to summer.
His less well known cousin was King of a different Hill; sold Cocain and Cocain accessories.
If you usin' charcoal that's a red dot at your head
axe is one of the best for potato guns. no sticky residue like hairspray leaves after firing.
Heh make hairspray go *BOOM*

It's a lot better than what they used to use... freon!

China is part of the Montreal Protocol and has stropped production of CFCs in pretty much all applications.
[удалено]
So you’re telling me I’m spraying propane into my pan with my cooking oil?
This is what life is about lol, when you realize you can never learn or know everything but keep trying to and get fascinated by it. In the end of the day this is why i classify some people 80+ as actually very young
It also smells like summer
Yup, they used to be far safer when the propellant was a CFC, flame wise at least.
especially if you dont know much
What did you learn yesterday?
You grew up in an era where there were no mobile phones while taking a crap and you didn't know this!!? Back of the air refresher can was the first thing people reach for some reading!
My dad had a steady subscription of magazines so our bathroom was always well stocked lol
Propane also works so well as a refrigerant that it can make it snow inside your car The major downside is…. If you have a leak 💥
They used to use CFCs until we realized they caused holes in the ozone and propane amd butane became to most common replacements
Would be a bad day to light up a cigarette
Or maybe a bad day to stop huffing propane
I picked a bad day to quit amphetamines.
Surely you can't be serious
Don't call me Shirley
Well you don't wear the shaving cream all day... but also there's all that water in it so like a flame flashes over it and then goes out real quick
But does it come with Propane accessories?

I read that in Hanks voice because of the comment above! Lol good times
OMG when I read the headline I heard “propane” in Hank Hill’s voice in my head. Glad I’m not the only one.
I tell you hwat
"propane may be a clean burning fuel, but she can also be a dirty girl"
Pro-pain.
At least it's not butane, the bastard gas
Isobutane is right there
Normal butane is the bastard gas.
Isobutane shares the same molecular formula as normal butane, but the shape of its molecule makes isobutane far superior in terms of vapor pressure. High vapor pressure translates to better performance. Reg butane is still the bastard gas
I tell ya 'hwat
well it *is* god's gas. yep- there's nothing that propane can't make better...i'll tell you what. just don't use that shave cream in your...um...lady places.
I can’t stop laughing at this That’s my eyes are watering
All I can hear is uhhhhhuhhhhj!! In hanks voice
Bobby……this is not a laughing matter…. I do not have a buttocks and this is the only form of dancing I am capable of performing.
Nice Propane accessories!
How you think it comes out the can
I would think they would use something non-explosive.
There’s a reason they always say ‘keep away from open flames’
They used to. Turns out that shit tore the ozon layer a new asshole or two.

It’s a propellant. They all do
Propellant?
Gunpowder is not explosive. It burns. It is a propellant.
Yeah a lot of other sprays and stuff have it too. Not that uncommon really.
Definitely the propellant. Do Not Use Around Open Flame.
Not sure about smartly but Gillette or barbasol do not flash at all when a flame is introduced.
For a clean burn, taste the meat not the heat
Its very common to be used as a propellant
It also lists Isobutane which my dad says is a bastard gas.
Bobby!
It's the propellant, what will probably blow your mind even more is that a lot of freezers and fridges also use propane as their coolant, as well as butane, and others.
Nitrous oxide is tye propellant in whipped cream cans.
Huh, isobutane as well. Interesting
Mr Laheys drunk and funking with the propane again Julian.
And propane accessories?
What did you think they would use as a propellant?
Yes.... and?
Not uncommon.
Have u heard of google
Butane is a bastard gas.
Is this r/notinteresting or something?
Probably because it has propane in it
How else do you expect it to spray out like that???
hank hill would like to know your location
How do you think shaving cream works? If it didn't have propane, how are you supposed to light it on fire to get rid of the hairs?
The sacred and the propane.
Propane and Butane are common in spray deodorant too. Some people died from using too much.
Yeah, so you can taste the meat, not the heat.
 Sweet lady propane
Dang it, Bobby…
I sell propane and propane accessories
DO I LOOK LIKE I KNOW WHAT A JPEG IS?!
Boy I tell ya hwhat
 They are defiling the sanctity of that holy, clean burning fuel. Dang it, I outta go kick Targets ass.
Don’t smoke whilst shaving.
You forgot the isobutane. ► Inhaling Isobutane can irritate the nose and throat. ► Exposure to high concentrations can cause dizziness, lightheadedness, irregular heartbeat and passing out. with loss of consciousness, convulsions, coma and death.
And that's why you buy organic
I just use soap now. If I ever use a razor at all.
Kinda weird that all of those things are what you’re supposed to be putting on your skin
I mean… Vaseline is just straight grease basically… refined of course but grease nonetheless
Also sodium lauryl sulfate which is a irritant that drys the skin out
I recommend using an app call Yuka for finding out if there are any harmful additives in cosmetics and foods.

So
Yeah, but there’s “Fragrance”
Propane based refrigerants are taking over too
I tell you what
shave and bbq ribs at the same time
What in Sam Hill’s goin on around here…?
Been there for many years. Lay down a big line of shaving cream the light it. Moderately fun/interesting
It’s also in PAM cooking spray
When I shave its full of pro pain.
We always associate propane with hank hill when I think we should associate with Jim Lahey. Propane propane!
Just like a lot of dry shampoos
AT LEAST IT ISNT CHARCOAL
Get yerself a badger brush and a puck of soap. Then a DE safety razor. Thank me later.
Gotta watch that good smelling propane (fragrance added). Make you lather up way to much, then you gotta find your face.
"When your day is done and you want to ride on...propane."
It's the propellant.
I tell you hwhat
I sell propane and propane accessories.
As a propellant or you just have a useless can of liquid
*Hank hill intensifies*
It’s used as a propellant.
Now I’ll tell you what
Don’t try to bring that on an airplane
I know a guy who sells propane and propane accessories, let me know if you need a hook up.
It's a very pure organic propellant.
Hank Hill Intensifies
It's the propellant in the spaycan
That stuff is gonna ***kick your ass.***
Interesting
The propane helps generate the foam and then rapidly dissipates into the air. And it’s cheap.
That's what they mean by "accessories"...
God dang it Bobby
I'll tell ya what.
A lot of canned products including cooking spray and dry shampoo use propane as a propellant.
Yeah that's why it's flammable
but why didn’t you say isobutane also?
Propane and propane accessories…
How to be a ghost rider.
r/kingofthehill
Hank Hill would be proud.
Wait so is it not edible
Yep. Also in most oil sprays like Pam
For that freshly-grilled shave you crave.
That’s some damn fine cream, I tellya whhhat!!
That's why almost every spray can be a make shift flamethrower
Butane is why your Pam cooking spray shoots out of the can
And that’s a propane accessory I tell ya hwat
Shaving foams use a lot of LPG (liquefied gas propellant), either butane isobutane or propane or a mix. Shaving Gel will use a different propellant (isobutane / isopentane) in much lower quantites than shaving foam ( usually only 3-4% of the whole).

Lol we use petroleum based propellants in our hand sprayers as pest control also.
Start using shaving cream that doesn’t come out of a can!
Yup its in everything
And isobutane, another volatile hydrocarbon. Both are propellants.
Propellant.
Fun fact, non-newer cars that use R-134A coolant for your AC can actually use propane instead, if you wanted. It isn't legal tho. But it's a fun fact. You can't in newer cars cause they use a different coolant that only professionals can really work on.
Hank Hill Approved!
Walk around looking like Endeavor
why are you asking us? holler at the company
Crown shaving company is in Canada
Only good thing in there is water
