Label Reads
Acetylene Danger Acetylene Is Classified As A Simple Asphyxiant; It's Presence In High Levels Can Reduce The Oxygen Contents Of Breathed Air To Such A Level That Unconsciousness Or Death Can Result. In Weldin Process Involving Acetylene, Metal Oxide Fumes And Carbon Monoxide May Present Additional Health Hazards. No Smoking Or Open Flames; May Explode If Heated. Prevention Keep Away From Heat, Sparks, Open Flames And Hot Surfaces. No Smoking. Use and Store Only Outdoors Or In A Well Ventilated Place. Response If In Eyes: Flush Eyes With Plenty Of Water For Atleast 15 Minutes. Remove Contact Lenses, If Presend And Easy To Do Continue Rinsing. Then Get Immediate Medical Attention. If Inhaled: If Adverse Effects Occur, Remove To Uncontaminated Area. Give Artificial Resporation If Not Breathing. If Breathing is Difficult, Oxigen Should Be Administered By Qualified Personnel. If On Skin: If Frostbite Or Freezing Occur, Immediatly Flush With Plenty Of Lukewarm Water (105-115°F; 41-46°C). DO NOT USE HOT WATER. If Warm Water Is Not Available, Gently Wram Affected Parts In Blankets. Get Immediate Medical Attention.If Ingested: If Swallowed, Get Medical Attention. Leaking Gas Fire: Do Not Extinguish Unless Leak Can Be Stopped Safely. Eliminate All Ignition Sources If Safe To Do So. Storage: Protect From Sunlight. Protect From Sunlight When Ambient Temperature Exceeds 52°C/125°F. Store In A Dry And Well-Ventilated Place. Disposal: Dispose of Contects/Container In Accordance With Local, Regional And National Regulations.

Product Information

Details

Commercial acetylene is generally considered a nontoxic gas that has been shown in experiments to have no chronic harmful effects even in high concentrations. In fact, it has been used as an anesthetic. Like most other gases, acetylene is a simple asphyxiant if present in such high concentrations that the lungs are deprived of their required supply of oxygen. In such cases, asphyxiation will result. It should be noted, however, that the lower flammable limit of acetylene in air will be reached well before asphyxiation can occur, and the danger of explosion is reached before any other health hazard is present. When in cylinders, acetylene production is principally used for oxy-acetylene welding, cutting, and heat treating.

This Acetylene Prevention Response Storage GHS Sign, helps identify the use of, storage of and/or hazards of acetylene in your facility.

About InfiniStick™ Labels

  • InfiniStick Mounting Surfaces

We engineered our InfiniStick™ labels for maximum adhesiveness and durability. InfiniStick™ labels are made with Brimar’s specially formulated adhesive and ultra-durable vinyl and can withstand the most challenging conditions without peeling off. Safe for use between -20° to 176° F and capable of sticking to a wide range of smooth and rough surfaces, InfiniStick™ labels are ideal for nearly any application.

InfiniStick™ labels adhere to a wide range of surfaces, making them perfect for use outdoors, in industrial settings, on machines, containers, vehicles, and more. For maximum adhesion, simply wipe the surface clean, remove the film from the label, and stick.

  • InfiniStick Mounting Surfaces

Thanks to their durability and versatility, InfiniStick™ labels will remain in place and effective for years, saving you money compared to standard labels, which must be replaced more frequently. Whether your label contains a safety warning, hazard rating, or any other directive, you can count on the resilience of labels made with InfiniStick™ technology.

Compliance

Acetylene

Acetylene is a compound of the elements carbon and hydrogen. Its composition is expressed by the chemical symbol C2H2. On a weight basis, the proportion of the elements in acetylene is approximately 12 parts of carbon to 1 part of hydrogen, or 92.3% to 7.7%, respectively.

Acetylene burns in air with an intensely hot, luminous, and smoky flame. The ignition temperatures of acetylene and mixtures of acetylene with air or acetylene with oxygen will vary according to composition, pressure, water vapor content, and initial temperature. As a typical example, mixtures containing 30% acetylene by volume with air at atmospheric pressure can be ignited at approximately 581°F (305°C).

Physiological effects

Commercial acetylene is generally considered a nontoxic gas that has been shown in experiments to have no chronic harmful effects even in high concentrations. In fact, it has been used as an anesthetic. Like most other gases, acetylene is a simple asphyxiant if present in such high concentrations that the lungs are deprived of their required supply of oxygen. In such cases, asphyxiation will result. It should be noted, however, that the lower flammable limit of acetylene in air will be reached well before asphyxiation can occur, and the danger of explosion is reached before any other health hazard is present.

Pipeline use of acetylene

Pipeline acetylene is used in the United States for chemical synthesis and for manufacturing carbon black. Acetylene is used in the manufacture of a variety of specialty chemicals and monomers that are used for organic synthesis, as solvents, and to make polymers used for plastics and synthetic rubber. The earlier uses for acetylene in the manufacture of commodity chemicals such as acetone, acetic acid, and acetaldehyde have been replaced by alternative raw materials.

Cylinder use

The remaining acetylene production is principally used for oxy-acetylene welding, cutting, and heat treating.
