TOWN GAS, BENZENE FREE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Town gas, benzene-free, is a manufactured gas used primarily for lighting, heating, and cooking before the widespread adoption of natural gas. It is produced through the gasification of coal or the reforming of hydrocarbons, resulting in a mixture of gases, including hydrogen, methane, and carbon monoxide, but free of benzene, a toxic compound. Town gas is employed in various industrial and domestic applications, providing a source of energy for various processes. Proper handling and storage of town gas are essential to maintain its quality and prevent accidents, as it is flammable and can pose health risks if inhaled in large quantities. Safety measures, including the use of appropriate protective equipment and adherence to handling protocols, are crucial when working with town gas. Its historical significance and unique properties make town gas, benzene-free, a valuable energy source in various applications, contributing to the development of early gas lighting and heating systems.
