Certain chemicals such as amatol and similar liquid gases
may react with copper alloys to form metalloids which would
negate the non-sparking properties of the alloys. Do not
use Ampco or other high copper content tools in direct contact
with acetylene due to the possible formation of explosive
acetylides, especially in the presence of moisture.
