Propane (C3H8) is combustible, colourless and non-toxic gas obtained by processing oil products or natural gas.
Propane is used as a source of energy in domestic and industrial cylinders (in case of effective burning, it maintains the need for energy). The calorific value of propane per 1 kilogram of gas is higher than of acetylene, however, its initial flame extracts lower part of heat. Flame temperature is lower and the required amount of oxygen is approx. 4 times higher than in case of use of acetylene.
Propane gas is used to fill in red coloured cylinders used in industry.
We offer to purchase propane in:
- 50 l cylinders (po 21 kg);
- 79 l cylinders(po 33 kg);
- Excise fuel in cylinders for forklifts: 27 l cylinders (11 kg) and 46 l cylinders (19 kg).
Fields of industry:
Heating and energy.
A clean, efficient fuel used for heating, cooking, and industrial burners.
Automotive fuel.
Used as LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) for vehicles and forklifts.
Metal cutting and heating.
Fuel gas for cutting, brazing, and metal preheating.
Refrigeration.
Component in certain refrigerant mixtures.
Agriculture: Used for crop drying and pest control.
Safety
Propane is explosive when its concentration in the air amounts to 2.2-9.5%. Propane is denser than the air, therefore, leaking gas moves down and push out the air causing a considerable danger of explosion or suffocation. In order to avoid health risks, it is recommended to download the material safety data sheet and observe provided instructions.
