Butane is sold in pressurized cans because it is a highly volatile and flammable gas. By keeping it in a pressurized container, the gas is compressed, which increases its stability and reduces the risk of accidental ignition or leaks. The pressurized cans also allow for easy and controlled release of the butane when needed.
