What Is Chemolene Gas?

Chemolene gas — also known as Chem-O-Lene — is a propane-based industrial welding gas unique among competitive fuels. It’s composed of combustible hydrocarbons for consistent burning at any pressure. Chemolene is a shock-resistant, flammable gas with a higher flame temperature than any fuel on the market at 5,800 degrees Fahrenheit. This gas can be safely used at full and empty cylinder pressures, as it is less susceptible to back flash than other competitive fuels.

These properties of chemolene gas make it a viable alternative fuel for acetylene. A 100-pound cylinder of chemolene can complete the same amount of work as eight acetylene cylinders, and chemolene is safer than acetylene. This efficiency translates to cost savings for storage and handling. Chemolene gas is a viable option for businesses looking to increase efficiency while controlling expenses.

Chemolene Gas Properties

Our chemolene gas has the following properties:

  • High flame temperature: Chemolene gas has the highest flame temperature of any fuel, allowing for greater cutting speed with minimal slag.
  • Nontoxic: Since it doesn’t create any dangerous byproducts, fumes or heavy smoke, chemolene gas is considered to be nontoxic. 
  • Nonpoisonous: Chemolene gas is considered nonpoisonous because it is not toxic or poisonous if inhaled, and general exposure to the gas doesn’t result in serious injuries. 
  • Limited flammability: While it is still flammable under the right conditions, chemolene gas is less flammable than other gases like acetylene, so it’s safer for welding use. 
  • Stable: Chemolene gas is stable under normal use conditions.
  • High shock and explosion resistance: The stability of chemolene gas gives it a higher shock and explosion resistance compared to other flammable gases.

Chemolene Gas Applications

While chemolene gas should be kept away from uncontrolled heat sources to prevent accidental ignition, it is designed for controlled use in metal-working applications, especially heat treating large areas or cutting thick metals. The enhanced cutting speed is quick and precise while producing virtually no slag, minimal oxidation and little embrittlement. Chemolene gas is an efficient option for:

  • Cutting
  • Soldering
  • Aluminum brazing
  • Heat treating
  • Glass blowing
  • Brazing

These applications make chemolene gas suitable for demanding industrial and commercial purposes, such as:

Cylinder Storage Solutions

Chemolene gas is stored in compressed gas cylinders. Store these cylinders in approved containers like bond and ground containers. Keep the container closed at all times, and label the cylinders to make it clear what is inside. Chemolene gas cylinders should be stored in a well-ventilated place away from sunlight.

The storage space for chemolene gas must follow specific guidelines, too. The chemolene gas storage room:

  • Must comply with National Electrical Code requirements for Class I, Division 1 and 2 hazardous areas.
  • Should not be near an occupied building, egress routes or heavy traffic areas.
  • Should be clear of materials that can burn.
  • Needs “no smoking or open flames” signs on display around storage areas.

Empty containers must also be handled safely, as they may contain explosive vapors. The National Fire Protection Association 58 has specific guidelines for storing these types of containers.

Chemolene Gas Safety

When using chemolene gas, you need to follow safe usage guidelines to prevent damage or hazards to your property or personnel. Proper handling procedures include:

  • Prevention: Chemolene gas is a Category 1 flammable gas that may explode if it comes into contact with uncontrolled heat sources. Keep chemolene gas cylinders away from ignition sources like open flames, sparks, hot surfaces, direct sunlight or any heat-generating equipment.
  • Response: If chemolene gas leaks from the container, eliminate all the ignition sources in the area. Do not attempt to extinguish a leaking gas fire unless you can safely stop the leak.
  • Handling: Handle chemolene gas cylinders with care, whether open or closed. Use chemolene gas in well-ventilated areas to prevent a fire. Even though chemolene is considered nontoxic, you should still wash your hands and any contaminated clothing when you’re done using the gas.
