Acetylene

The hottest burning fuel gas available — delivering flame temperatures exceeding 3,500°C, making it the go-to choice for heavy-duty metal cutting and welding operations.

Chemical & Physical Properties:

Acetylene is a chemical compound of carbon and hydrogen. It is a colorless, flammable gas, slightly lighter than air. Pure acetylene is odorless, however commercial grade acetylene may carry a distinct odor due to trace impurities. Acetylene requires careful handling during storage and transport due to its sensitivity under certain conditions, and must always be used in accordance with approved industrial safety standards.

Applications:

  • Metal cutting and welding
  • Brazing and heat treatment operations
  • Metal deposition and forming
  • Glass and rubber manufacturing
  • Production of chemicals such as acetaldehyde and acetic acid
  • Specialty lighting systems such as buoys and lighthouses

Supply Options:

  • High-pressure cylinders
  • Cylinder bundles / manifolds
  • Periodic scheduled delivery
