of butane and propane and has a vapor pressure of 40 psi (2.8 kgf/cm 2 ) per square inch. Hydrocarbon propellants were used as primary propellants until the 1980's when the California Air Resource Board determined that these chemicals contribute to smog. They passed regulations that limited the amount that could be used in spray paint.
