At What Temperature Will Acetylene Explode

1. Acetylene initiates a polymerization reaction when the temperature is under 540°C and the pressure reaches 0.3MPa.

acetylene combustion
2. Acetylene experiences explosive decomposition at temperatures above 580°C and pressures over 0.5MPa.

3. The transition of acetylene from polymerization to explosive decomposition occurs at lower temperatures as the pressure increases.
