Isobutylene (C4H8) Detectors

Protect workers and maintain operational safety with our fixed and portable isobutylene detectors, trusted in petrochemical, rubber, and fuel additive industries.

Detection is commonly achieved using photoionisation (PID) or catalytic bead sensors, enabling fast and precise measurement of isobutylene at both ppm and %LEL levels. These detectors integrate with alarm and control systems for rapid response and improved safety compliance. Regular calibration ensures accuracy and long-term reliability.

Isobutylene (C₄H₈) is a highly flammable gas widely used in the production of butyl rubber, fuel additives, plastics, and other petrochemical products. It poses a significant fire and explosion hazard due to its low flash point and tendency to form explosive mixtures with air. Short-term exposure can cause eye, nose, and throat irritation, while higher concentrations may result in dizziness and central nervous system effects, making accurate monitoring vital.
