Welding gas is a mixture of various hydrocarbons, principally, methylacetylene , propadiene and Propane(MAPP).
Advantages
ELK MAP Plus gas is the new generation of MAPP gas.
1. The heater warms faster than MAPP gas.
2. It can reach a higher combustion temperature (Max. 1300°C) than MAPP gas under anaerobic conditions.
3. Leaves no reside or deposits after combustion.
4. Operates normally even when outside temperature is very low and iced over. (Minimum Temperature: -20°C)

Packaging & Storage
MAPP gas is available in disposable steel cylinder (Size: φ75×280mm; Net Weight: 16oz). The standard packages are as follow: 12 cylinders per carton; 17004 cylinders per 20ft container.
Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heavily trafficked areas and emergency exits. Do not allow the temperature where cylinders are stored to exceed 125°F (52°C). Cylinders should be stored upright and firmly secured to prevent falling or being knocked over. Full and empty cylinders should be segregated. Use a "first in-first out" inventory system to prevent full cylinders from being stored for excessive periods of time. Post "NO SMOKING OR OPEN FLAMES" signs in the storage or use area. There should be no sources of ignition in the storage or use area. This fuel gas should not be handled or used in metals that form acetylides, such as copper, silver, magnesium or their alloys.
