High Purity Acetylene Gas (C2H2) Hydrocarbon Gases

Acetylene(C2H2) is a colorless , flammable gas with an odor similar to garlic . Can decompose spontaneously if pressure exceeds 15 psig. Shipped and stored in dissolved acetone/DMF .It is the simplest alkyne with a triple bond between the two carbon atoms and is an important industrial chemical, used in oxy-fuel welding and cutting processes, as well as in the synthesis of various organic compounds.Ethyne is slightly soluble in water and can dissolve in organic solvents such as ethanol, ether, and acetone.Ethyne has a relatively low thermal conductivity, which is typical for nonpolar molecules.The viscosity of ethyne is low, similar to other gases, and decreases with increasing temperature.

Due to the presence of the carbon-carbon triple bond, ethyne is highly reactive and can undergo a variety of chemical reactions, including combustion, addition reactions, and polymerization.Ethyne is used in oxy-fuel welding and cutting processes due to its ability to burn at high temperatures with an intense flame.It is also used as a building block in the synthesis of chemicals such as vinyl chloride, which is used to make polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic.Ethyne is a highly flammable gas and can form explosive mixtures with air. It is important to handle and use ethyne with appropriate safety measures to prevent fires and explosions.Ethyne is also a potent asphyxiant and can pose health risks if not properly managed in the workplace.
