Market Overview

Acetylene is a colorless, flammable gas with a faint garlic-like odor that is used in a variety of applications. Acetylene is also known as ethyne, narcylen, vinylene, ethine, and ethenylene. It is highly reactive and has a triple bond formed by carbon atoms. Acetylene is lighter than air and can ignite easily with a sooty flame. It should not be stored with oxidizing agents and can explode when exposed to fire or heat.  Acetylene is used in a variety of industries in Germany, including welding, glass, and chemical manufacturing. BASF has a world-scale acetylene production facility in Ludwigshafen, Germany that can produce 90,000 metric tons per year. The facility uses raw materials efficiently and generates energy from the heat given off during production. Additionally, Germany acetylene market is witnessing growth due to continuous demand in global metalworking industries and increasing demand from the chemical industry.
