Mapp gas

MAPP gas is a high-performance fuel gas for applications requiring intense heat, such as soldering, brazing, and plumbing. It burns hotter than propane, with a flame temperature of up to in air. The name is a legacy term derived from its original composition of methylacetylene-propadiene propane. Modern versions are often marketed as substitutes for the original MAPP gas.

Key characteristics and uses 

Composition: A blend of methylacetylene-propadiene and propane, although current versions may vary.

Temperature: Produces a hotter flame than propane, reaching temperatures of up to 2735 degrees

Applications: Commonly used for brazing, soldering large-diameter copper pipes, and light welding.

Benefits: Delivers fast heat transfer, making it efficient for tasks like loosening rusted bolts. It is also known for being a cleaner-burning fuel with reduced soot and odor compared to some alternatives.
