Oxygen is a non-flammable gas but supports and accelerates combustion. Most materials burn with fierce intensity in oxygen. In Oxygen-enriched atmospheres, the potential fire risk increases and combustion is accelerated, even for materials that are normally not combustible. Avoid that oxygen comes in contact grease,fat and oil. Never use oxygen as substitute for compressed air.
