Hello -
The following information was received from a company named "FoamTek",
specialists in consultating for the foam industry:
"LPG is a mixture of propane, butane and a percentage of other
volatiles. The percentage changes from batch to batch, which causes
process problems (as with any mixed gas). LPG is UNscrubbed, which
means that, in its raw state, there are a lot of volatiles that give
off odors when processed, leaving an odor in the sheet. Vapour
pressure of propane is different to that of Butane, and the propane
will tend to escape at die, leaving open cells, inferior surface
finish, and higher density than butane alone."
Foamtek LLC is available at www.foamtekcorp.com
If this doesn't answer your question, please let me know.
Thanks,

I'm still attempting to get in contact with the representative that
provided the original data. In the meantime, can you clarify exactly
what details you're looking for in terms of the differences between
LPG and butane?
Thank you for your patience.

The original answer supplied had discussed the differences between
these two chemicals as *blowing agents*, which was my interpretation
of your original question. I'll need a few days to continue research
on this question to see if I can locate chemical property information
on these blowing agents. Thanks for your patience.

Since you're in a rush, I wanted to see if maybe this link would cut it for you:
The typical chemical properties of LPG:
http://www.lpga.co.uk/TypicalPropofCommercialLPG.htm
This is from the LPG Association of the UK. As stated earlier, LPG is
chiefly a combination of butane and propane. You can compare this
data to the butane column alone and see the differences between the
two chemicals.
Will this work?

I'd like to be able to help you further, but I'm not able to find the
exact details you require, and I do not think I will be able to do so
in the time frame you require. If you'd like, email
answers-editors@google.com for a refund for this question (ID #444657
).
Sorry again,

asking for refund is out of question. if you can give me please just
give me some information about the difference in application behavior
when both are used as blowing agent for polystrene sheet. even this is
not possible i close the link here only.thanks

I spoke with a consultant in the industry named Ed Leduc. He might
have supplied information through Davis Standard to you, as he says
the request sounds familiar. However, you didn't speak to him
directly. He said he has experience blowing foam with every
conceivable product, and he has worked for two of the biggest foam
manufacturers in the country (or world). He would be wiling to speak
with you directly, and provide the information you're seeking at no
cost. He can also supply you with the name of another consultant who
could verify the information.
