Propylene Fuel Gas for Welding, Brazing, Silver Soldering, Heating and Cutting. 10L Cylinder
Price range: £85.64 through £199.73
Price includes VAT
What is it and what can it do?
Propylene is a blend of gases. Oxygen & Propylene burns hotter than Oxygen & Propane and can be used for Fusion Welding, Brazing, Silver Solder, Heating & oxy fuel gas Cutting
Why Fabricators are Changing to Propylene?
- SAFER. Reduced chance of flashbacks, more stable
- 50%. Reduction in cost over Acetylene
- 50%. Reduction in gas pressure Vs Propane… less gas
- 80% less cylinder change outs. (1 * 10L Propylene cylinder Vs 2.5 * 10L Acetylene cylinders)
- QUALITY CUTS – Less grinding, better joint fit-up
- HIGHER Vapour Pressure in colder temperatures
- FASTER Cutting Speeds – productivity improvement
- LONGER TIP LIFE – less change out time
Safety Comparison:
When it comes to safety, Propylene is the industry leader. With Propylene, you have a lower chance of flashbacks and Propylene is 20 times more stable compared to Acetylene
| COMPARISON | PROPYLENE | ACETYLENE |
| Flammability range | 2 – 11% in air | 2.5 – 80% in air |
| Cylinder content | 10L | 10L |
| Flashback Potential | Minimal | Dangerous |
| Operating pressure | 1 – 133 psi | 1 – 15 psi |
| Gas Stability | 20 * more stable | Unstable |
| No solvent or filler | Dissolved in acetone, with filler |
Gas stability issues with Acetylene prevent users from being able to increase pressure in acetylene applications i.e.(Heating) causing insufficient pressures for heating heads resulting in dangerous flashbacks while with Propylene this is a minimal
concern.

Economical & Performance….
PROPYLENE is one of the cleanest burning, easiest to use, best performing and safest fuels available. With most products you have to pay extra to get the best, but with PROPYLENE you get this high level of quality and still save money. The average cost of PROPYLENE is typically 50% lower than the cost of acetylene. The versatility of PROPYLENE means that you only need to buy one fuel for many jobs. PROPYLENE can be used for hand cutting, machine cutting, flame hardening, metalizing, razing, soldering, welding, pre-heating and stress relieving.
PROPYLENE Cutting, Heating & Brazing Tips make the Difference…..
Acetylene is the primary fuel for oxy-fuel welding and is the fuel of choice for repair work and general cutting and welding. Acetylene produces the hottest and most concentrated primary flame of all industrial fuel gases. Its calorific value is fairly low, but the portion emitted by the primary flame is very high, about 30%, making acetylene the fuel gas that produces the most heat in the primary flame.
