Goodbye MAPP gas, Hello MAP//PRO

With its sole supplier ceasing production of MAPP gas, TurboTorch is introducing a replacement, MAP//PRO.

MAP//PRO replaces MAPP gas for TurboTorchAn advantage MAP//PRO has over MAPP is a higher vapor pressure resulting in better performance in colder temperatures. Another difference between MAPP and MAP//PRO is the effective BTU output. TurboTorch lab tests have revealed that MAP//PRO has approximately 10% greater BTU output over Propane and a 14% less effective BTU output than MAPP. However, given technical advancements, testing has shown that TurboTorch torches maximize the performance of propylene based (MAP//PRO) gas thereby offsetting any loss of BTU.

Turbo Torch will implement an average price increase of 4%  on April 1.
