Is Butane Harmful to Skin

Butane is a colorless substance that liquefies and ignites easily. When it comes into contact with the skin, it quickly evaporates, leaving minimal residue and causing negligible damage.

However, as butane evaporation absorbs a considerable amount of heat, while small quantities pose no significant risk, substantial exposure can lead to frostbite! It’s essential to wash the area thoroughly with copious amounts of tap water to expedite the return of the skin to its normal temperature. For any wounds, topical application of iodine and healing solutions is recommended.
