Description

• A highly flammable gas

• Slightly lighter than air and will collect at ceiling level

• Distinctive garlic-like smell, which is recognisable above 2% concentrations in the air

• May cause dizziness in high concentrations

• Highly reactive, acetylene is dissolved in acetone and contained within a porous mass inside the cylinder

• The hottest and most efficient of all fuel gases

• Low auto-ignition temperature – requires minimal energy to ignite in air or oxygen

• Can react over time with some metals to form explosive acetylides

• Acetylene is stored in specially designed cylinders to prevent decomposition

• Unused gas will not collect in low-lying areas, ducts and drains causing a potential hazard
