ACETYLENE

Acetylene

Acetylene (also known as dissolved acetylene), is the hottest and most efficient of all the fuel gases, BOC Acetylene gas cylinders offers customers, low ignition energy, a localised flame and reducing wasted heat. When acetylene is used in cutting processes, an improved cut quality, higher cutting speed, and faster cut initiation time is achieved. These advantages can greatly improve productivity. Acetylene is a highly-versatile fuel gas making it the gas of choice for processes including cutting, gas welding, flame heating, flame gouging, flame straightening and brazing. Customers buying acetylene from BOC receive industry-leading standards of safety. Our fuel gases are fitted with a left-hand cylinder valve to provide additional safety benefits. Acetylene is provided in a specially designed gas cylinder to prevent decomposition and ensure maximum longevity.
