Dissolved and distributed in Special Gas Cylinders of several capacities, Acetylene (C2H2) is an important industrial raw material used to produce solvents and alkenes, which, in turn, serve as monomers in plastic production.

It is also utilized in brazing, cutting, flame scarfing, and metallurgical heating and hardening, and in the glass industry. Acetylene is a gaseous hydrocarbon which is highly flammable.

The gas is colorless, unstable, highly combustible, and has a strong odor resembling garlic.

Acetylene is shipped as a stabilized solution under pressure, and dissolved in Acetone as it is a highly unstable compound and decomposes with ignition within a wide range of pressures and temperatures.
