- Ethanethiol (Common in Propane / LPG )
- The Following can also be used (or blended with eachother and/or the odorants listed above)
- Dimethyl Sulfide
- Isopropyl Mercaptan (aka Isopropanethiol )
- Methyl Ethyl Sulfide
- Normal Propyl Mercaptan (aka Propanethiol )
- Secondary Butyl Mercaptan (aka 2-Butanethiol )
- Tertiary Butyl Mercaptan (aka tert-Butylthiol )
- Tetrahydrothiophene
- The Following can also be used (or blended with eachother and/or the odorants listed above)
