It's not trademarked; it's a standard industrial mixture. Companies simply don't want to give the exact mixture of methyl acetylene to propadiene. I'm sure there's an MSDS somewhere that would tell you.

In a non cascade system I think you'd need a hardcore compressor for mapp - again it all depends on the % makeup of propane to methane to other gasses in it. Hell it sure would be a fun experiment though
What makes you think so? The properties of methyl acetate are nothing like methane.

Any students out there that have access to a spectrum analyzer of some sort that could take apart Mapp gas for us?
This is sorta overkill.
