Powerjet Propylene (C3H6)
Features
- Colourless fuel gas with a natural pungent smell
- Similar to propane but has a double bond that gives it a combustion advantage
- Heavier than air – will collect in ducts, drains and low-lying levels, forming an explosion hazard
- Highly combustible, having explosive limits in the air of between 2% and 10.5% by volume
- Will ignite and burn instantly from a spark or piece of hot metal. Requires minimal energy to ignite in oxygen
- Non-toxic – may cause dizziness in high concentrations
Benefits
- Produces high heat combustions and flame temperatures
Applications
- Can be used for heating and cutting in place of propane, but is generally less economical
- Widely used as a fuel gas for the HVOF processes, because of the higher heat of combustion and flame temperature
- Widely used in the chemical and plastics industries
