Oxygen can react with any residue, particles, dirt, oil, grease or other contaminants that are left on the surface of equipment. Therefore, it is very imortant to use the right cleaners and follow the manufacturer instructions as directed.

3G Label Remover

Adhesive and grime can be tough to scrub off cylinders... but be careful- cylinders have special properties that could be harmed by some cleaners. For example, cylinders have a special clear paint coat that contains a radiant heat indicator. If the cylinder body becomes too hot, the cylinder will not be safe to be used with oxygen. So, the clear coat turns brown when the cylinder has gotten too hot. Some cleaners may harm this special coat and render the cylinder unsafe.
