Industrial Gases & Mixtures
Oxygen
Oxygen is used with fuel gases in gas welding, gas cutting, oxygen scarfing, flame cleaning, flame hardening, and flame straightening.
In gas cutting, the oxygen must be of high quality to ensure a high cutting speed and a clean cut.
We offer different types of oxygen cylinder for industrial applications.
Nitrogen
The inert properties of nitrogen make it a good blanketing gas in many applications. Nitrogen blanketing is used to protect flammable or explosive solids and liquids from contact with air. Certain chemicals, surfaces of solids, and stored food products have properties that must be protected from degradation by the effects of atmospheric oxygen and moisture. Protection is achieved by keeping these items in (under) a nitrogen atmosphere. "Inerting" or "padding" are other terms used to describe displacement of air and nitrogen blanketing.
"Sparging" with nitrogen is the bubbling of nitrogen gas through a liquid to remove unwanted volatile components, including volatile organic compounds (VOC) which may be necessary to meet pollution reduction regulations.
Certain substances are difficult to pulverize or shred because they are tough or the materials will be degraded by the heat generated by mechanical processes such as grinding. Liquid nitrogen can be used to freeze soft or tough substances prior to their entering a size reduction process. Cold vaporized nitrogen can be used to keep materials cool (and in an inert atmosphere) during grinding. Cryogenic grinding is used in diverse applications, including production of finely ground pharmaceuticals, plastics and pigments; and for shredding tires in recycling plants.
Argon
We offer high quality range of argon gas which is the most abundant, and least expensive, truly inert gas. It is used where a completely non-reactive gas is needed.
Pure argon, and argon mixed with various other gases, is used as a shield gas in TIG welding ("tungsten inert gas" or gas tungsten arc welding) which uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode, and in MIG ("metal inert gas", also called gas metal arc welding, or wire feed welding) which employs a consumable wire feed electrode. The function of the shielding gas is to protect the electrode and the weld pool against the oxidizing effect of air. Pure argon is often used with aluminum. A mixture of argon and carbon dioxide is often used for MIG welding of ordinary structural steel.
Plasma-arc cutting and plasma-arc welding employ plasma gas (argon and hydrogen) to provide a very high temperature when used with a special torch.
Dissolve Acetylene (D.A)
We provide high quality and pure industrial dissolved acetylene to our clients. a hydrocarbon and the simplest alkyne. It is a colourless gas that is widely used as a fuel and a chemical building block. It is unstable in pure form and thus is usually handled as a solution. Dissolved Acetylene gas is unsaturated because its two carbon atoms are bonded together in a triple bond.
