Fast brazing and cutting
Acetylene is a combustible gas that is obtained only by synthesis. Extremely unstable under normal conditions, it is transported in special containers when inside it is stabilized by a solvent (acetone or dimethylforlmamide) making the handling of the containers safe.

Argon for welding
Inert gas, 1.38 times heavier than air. It has a low ionisation potential which facilitates the ignition and re-ignition of the arc, giving it a high stability, generating few fumes. Its low thermal input promotes conical penetration. Being heavier than air, it offers good air displacement. It is used as a base for welding mixtures.
