A colourless, odourless, toxic and highly flammable gas with the formula CO.
It reacts with steel at temperatures above 800°C and imparts carbon into its surface. Accordingly, it is an important constituent of most carrier gases and carburising atmospheres.
Toxic if inhaled.
Properties: | Melting point | -205°C |
Boiling point | -192°C | |
Relative density | 1 (Air = 1) | |
Flash point | Flammable at all temperatures | |
Auto-ignition temperature | 620°C | |
Explosive limits | 12 to 74% in air |
