R&D Destec: Tissue Padding Trend for Loose Gas Regulators Is Highly Dangerous

The recent trend of using a tissue to pad loose gas regulators has gained public attention and has been discussed in national media. Although it may seem practical, this method is highly dangerous and could lead to serious accidents in the kitchen.

In response to this phenomenon, the Research and Development (R&D) team at Destec Indonesia strongly advises against using tissue to fix loose regulators due to its significant risks. This practice could result in gas leaks, fires, or even explosions.

Technical Director at Destec Indonesia, Abdul Kahar, explained that tissue is a material highly prone to damage. Made from thin fiber, tissue deteriorates easily, especially when exposed to pressure or moisture. Meanwhile, LPG gas is a liquid that evaporates quickly and is highly flammable. As the tissue begins to weaken or disintegrate, its fragments may interfere with the regulator’s connection, creating gaps that allow gas to leak.

“Using tissue on a loose regulator might appear safe at first. However, due to its fragile nature, tissue will not be effective in the long run and can significantly increase the risk of serious accidents at home. Therefore, we strongly advise against using tissue,” said Abdul (13/12).

He further emphasized that consumers should immediately replace any loose regulators instead of attempting to fix them with tissue or other materials. A loose regulator indicates damage and is no longer safe to use.

To ensure safety, Abdul recommends choosing regulators with a reliable locking system. When a regulator is securely locked, it will not wobble or shift during use.

“Consumers can also choose for regulators with a double safety system featuring an additional flat rubber seal. This feature is available in products such as the COM, Star Cam, and Des Star regulators. The double safety system helps prevent potential leaks, even if the regulator loosens due to age or wear. This technology is designed to provide extra security,” Abdul explained.

As the brand owner of Destec Indonesia, PT Cipta Orion Metal urges consumers to always prioritize safety when using gas regulators and to replace damaged regulators to prevent potential hazards at home.
