About Acetylene Gas
Acetylene gas is highly flammable with a characteristic property of high flame temperature. On combustion with oxygen, it can achieve a temperature of 6,296°F and on reaction with air can get to 4,532°F. It is a colorless gas with a garlic-like odor. Acetylene is an asphyxiant that reduces the amount of oxygen present in air. It is highly unstable in its pure form and tends to become highly explosive when liquefied, heated, compressed, or mixed with air.
Technavio’s analysts forecast the global acetylene gas market to grow at a CAGR of 2.92% during the period 2017-2021.
