Methane 99.999% purity CH4 Industrial Gas

Methane is the main component of natural gas (typically 87% methane in natural gas). Therefore, it is usually produced by purifying natural gas.
Pure methane can also be obtained from the cracking of petroleum distillates.

Methane is the main component of natural gas and is commonly used in domestic and industrial gas. It is a high-quality gas fuel, with colorless and odorless characteristics, at room temperature and pressure for the gas state. The combustion reaction of methane is one of its most common applications, burning with a light blue flame and releasing a large amount of heat, making it a highly efficient energy source.

In addition, methane can also be used to produce hydrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon black, acetylene, formaldehyde, hydrocyanic acid and other chemical products. These products are widely used in industrial production, such as hydrogen for fuel cells and chemical synthesis, and carbon black for the manufacture of rubber, paints and pigments.

Chemically, methane is a structurally stable compound that does not normally react with strong acids, bases and oxidants. However, methane can undergo substitution reactions under certain conditions, reacting with chlorine gas to form a series of chlorinated hydrocarbons and hydrogen chloride gases.

Safety Instructions

Main physical and chemical risk: It can form an explosive mixture when mixed with air, which can cause combustion and explosion in case of high heat energy of open fire. It can react violently with fluorine. In case of high heat, the pressure inside the container increases, and there is a risk of cracking and explosion.
GHS Class: Flammable gases Class 1 Gases under pressure: compressed gases
Warning word: Danger
Danger information Highly combustible gas, containing high pressure gas, may explode in case of heat prevention instructions: away from fire source, spark, open flame, hot surface, use tools that do not produce sparks; Take measures to prevent static electricity, grounding and connecting the container and receiving equipment; Use electrical, ventilation, lighting and other equipment; Wear ESD clothes and protective gloves.
Emergency summary: If the skin has frostbite, seek medical treatment; Inhalation, quickly away from the scene to the fresh air, keep the airway smooth, such as breathing difficulties, oxygen, such as breathing stop, immediately give artificial respiration, medical treatment, pay attention to warm; Collecting spills; In case of fire, mist water, foam, dry powder and carbon dioxide are used to extinguish the fire. Cut off the air source and move the container from the fire to an open area if possible.
Main symptoms of health hazards: methane is basically non-toxic to people, but when the concentration is too high, the oxygen content in the air is significantly reduced, causing people to suffocate. When the methane in the air reaches 25% to 30%, it can cause headache, dizziness, weakness, lack of concentration, rapid breathing and heartbeat, and ataxia. If not disengaged in time, it can cause death by suffocation. Skin contact with liquid this product can cause frostbite.
Environmental hazards: The substance is greenhouse gas and harmful to environmental pollution.
Ignition hazard: flammable.
