CGC - City Gas Cutting Gas
A high-performance, cost-effective, and safer alternative to Acetylene for industrial metal cutting and brazing.
The Future of Metal Cutting
CGC is a specialized fuel gas mixture developed by City Gas specifically for heavy-duty metal fabrication. Engineered to outperform traditional fuel gases, CGC provides an optimal balance of intense heat, stability, and economy.
Widely adopted in fabrication yards, shipyards, and scrap metal operations, CGC serves as a direct drop-in replacement for Acetylene, offering superior safety profiles without compromising on cutting speed or flame temperature.
High Flame Temperature
Reaches temperatures necessary for rapid pre-heating and fast cutting.
Cleaner Cuts, Less Grinding
CGC reduces slag formation, saving time on post-cut processing.
Why Switch to CGC?
A smarter choice for your bottom line and your operators' safety.
Cost Savings
Significantly more economical than Acetylene per cylinder. Higher fuel density means fewer cylinder changeovers and lower transport costs.
Higher Efficiency
Provides faster pre-heating times and accelerated cutting speeds, increasing overall operator productivity on the shop floor.
Enhanced Safety
A much more stable fuel gas mixture compared to Acetylene, significantly lowering the risk of flashbacks and shock sensitivity.
Cleaner Cut
Produces reduced slag and creates cleaner cut edges, drastically reducing the labor time spent on post-cut grinding.
