Denoted with the name [[Volatiles|''Volatile'']], it is a homogenous compound made up of Hydrogen, Chlorine and Hydrocarbons. This means that it is poisonous due to the Chlorine, but also combustible due to the Hydrogen and Methane portions and can be turned into [[Water]] with [[Oxygen]] in a [[Kit (Atmospherics) H2 Combustor|H2 Combustor]] that has a self-contained catalyst which helps free the Hydrogen atoms.

<!--[[Volatiles]] is a combustible gas, likely chloromethane or other chloride based organic compound, that can be used in combination with [[Oxygen]] as a [[Fuel]]. The main source of Volatiles on most planets is in the form of [[Ice (Volatiles)]] that can be mined on the surface. It is the breathing gas of the Zrillian species. Although the game commonly labels Volatiles as H2, a hydrogen pair molecule, the saved files list X gas as chlorine, meaning to produce carbon dioxide and chlorine, and water, as a byproducts, the compound must contain all three elements.-->

Volatiles are an extremely reactive, complex organic molecule, which can be used in conjunction with Oxygen as a combustible fuel. It is refined from Ice (Volatiles).

Due to obscure and largely forgotten ODA regulations, volatiles are sometimes labelled 'H2' by various items of technology. however, though they are similar to Hydrogen, they're not 'actually' Hydrogen. Volatiles will not produce water when produced without a catalyst (See the H2 Combustor). Alone, they create pollutants and Carbon Dioxide when burned in the following ratio:

Different ratios of Volatiles and Oxygen will produce different temperatures and pressures during combustion. Combustion will create a large amount of Heat, pressure, and [[Carbon Dioxide]]. This reaction is useful inside a [[Furnace]] for smelting ores and creating alloys, but can be catastrophic when inside a [[Canister]] or a room.

* Seems that a concentration of Volatiles greater than 6% in an atmosphere it is lethal to plants, keep attention on that designing a greenhouse, because [[Kit (Advanced Composter)|Advanced Composter]] will release Volatiles during the process.
