The future of the welding supply business is to cut costs in order to increase profits. Becoming a CHEMTANE 2 gas distributor is one way to achieve this. As a distributor of CHEMTANE 2 gas, the following cost savings can be realized because a 100lb. cylinder of CHEMTANE 2 gas equals seven 300 cu. ft. cylinders of acetylene. Therefore,
· The CHEMTANE 2 cylinders required cost less than required acetylene cylinders
· There is less capital required due to the reduction of cylinder inventory needed vs. the inventory required with acetylene cylinders
· Less storage space is needed for CHEMTANE 2 cylinders
· Less labor is required in field & office, due to reduced handling of materials & processing of paper work
· Less deliveries are made which means less maintenance to delivery trucks
· Lower liability could be realized due to less time the delivery trucks are on the road and could possibly lead to reduced insurance premiums
· A cylinder of CHEMTANE 2 is approximately ½ the weight of an equal size cylinder of acetylene, which could lessen the liability of job injuries
· Less weight on the delivery trucks could lessen the fuel costs to operate the trucks
· With CHEMTANE 2 gas, your company is able to provide liquid bulk manifold systems instead of the bulk vapor manifold pack system to the end-user
· With CHEMTANE 2 gas, being offered as a fuel gas your company is able to maintain its customer base and possibly prevent the competition from taking your company’s clients
