*Propane is the primary flammable gas in [[blowtorch]]es for [[soldering]].
*Propane is used in [[oxy-fuel welding and cutting]]. Propane does not burn as hot as acetylene in its inner cone, and so it is rarely used for welding. Propane, however, has a very high number of BTUs per cubic foot in its outer cone, and so with the right torch (injector style) it can make a faster and cleaner cut than acetylene, and is much more useful for heating and bending than acetylene.
*Propane is used as a feedstock for the production of base [[petrochemical]]s in [[steam cracking]].
*Propane is the primary fuel for [[hot-air balloon]]s.
*It is used in semiconductor manufacture to deposit [[silicon carbide]].
*Propane is commonly used in theme parks and in movie production as an inexpensive, high-energy fuel for explosions and other special effects.
*Propane is used as a propellant, relying on the expansion of the gas to fire the projectile. It does not ignite the gas. The use of a liquefied gas gives more shots per cylinder, compared to a compressed gas.
*Propane is also used as a cooking fuel.
*Propane is used as a propellant for many household aerosol sprays, including shaving creams and air fresheners.
*Propane is a promising feedstock for the production of propylene.{{citation needed|date=January 2023}}
*Liquified propane is used in the extraction of animal fats and vegetable oils.<ref>{{Ullmann|doi=10.1002/14356007.a24_437|title=Solvents|year=2000|last1=Stoye|first1=Dieter|isbn=3527306730}}</ref>
