Application
Liquid petroleum gases (LPG) are mainly applied as alternative fuels for spark-ignition engines.
Packaging, Storage, Transportation
Liquid petroleum gases (LPG) are supplied under pressure in rail tankers and road tankers. LPG storage, transportation and handling must comply with legal regulations.

Basic Safety Data
LPG is highly volatile, flammable liquid, which is stored under pressure in pressure containers. When released into the environment with atmospheric pressure, vaporization by boiling at temperatures down to – 40 °C – occurs - causing a high risk of burns.
