Industrial Gas

Safety Data Sheet (SDS)

Constituting 78% of the atmospheric air, Nitrogen is used in pressurisation, purging and inerting in the petrochemical industry. The food and beverage industry also requires significant quantities of liquid and gaseous Nitrogen for its food processing applications. In its liquid form, Nitrogen is used in rapid cooling and storage of biological material (such as blood, sperm, embryos, bone marrow and other biological samples without diminishing their intrinsic qualities), cryosurgery and cryogenically grinding of plastics and rubbers.

Nitrogen is also offered as a pure specialty gas under the brand ALPHAGAZ™, which is suitable for critical laboratory and analytical applications. Nitrogen in cryogenic liquid form is also available under ALPHAGAZ™ 1.

Safety Data Sheet

Huge volumes of Industrial Grade Oxygen is used to increase efficiency in a number of processes by reducing the amount of fuel used and decreasing Carbon Dioxide emissions in the Chemical, Oil and Gas industries. It is also used in metal fabrication applications such as smelting, cutting and welding. Medical oxygen is important in hospital and clinical care for resuscitation, surgery and various therapies.

Safety Data Sheet

Argon is used as a protective atmosphere for a large number of industrial processes, including steel manufacturing, welding and metal fabrication, electronics, food preservation. It is also used in fluorescent lighting applications and serves as a non-reactive thermal blanket in double glazed windows.

Safety Data Sheet

Acetylene (C₂H₂) is a fuel gas that is used together with Oxygen for welding metals and cutting steel, and also for allied Oxy-acetylene processes for heating, forming and treating metals.

Safety Data Sheet

Carbon Dioxide is used as a cryogenic fluid for processes such as tissue conservation, deep-freezing and fire extinction due to its non-combustible nature. Carbon dioxide also can be found in welding applications either as pure gas or in gas mixtures (e.g. ARCAL™). Food-grade carbon dioxide is used in carbonated beverages and for food processing applications such as chilling and freezing, modified atmosphere packaging and cold transportation.

Safety Data Sheet

With the lowest boiling point, Helium is used in various applications and industries. It serves as a cryogenic agent to cool superconductive magnetic coils in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) medical equipment. Aside from that, Helium is chemically inert and can be used to create an inert atmosphere for Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) or Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding. It is also used for purging, annealing, sputtering, leak checking and etching applications in the Electronics industry.

Safety Data Sheet

Hydrogen is essential in aerospace as a fuel for rocket engines, and supplies energy to computers and life support system in space. It is used to improve plasma welding and cutting operations. In addition, it is usually mixed with Argon to weld stainless steel and can be used as a propellant for any type of vehicle. Hydrogen is also offered as a pure specialty gas under the brand ALPHAGAZ™, which is suitable for critical laboratory and analytical applications.

Safety Data Sheet

As a source of Oxygen, Air is essential for combustion, respiration, decay and various industrial processes - including oxidation.

Safety Data Sheet

Nitrous Oxide is used in calibration gas mixtures for petrochemical industry, environmental emission monitoring, industrial hygiene monitors and trace impurity analysers. Nitrous Oxide also servers as gas propellant for aerosol packaging. Medical Nitrous Oxide is used in adults and children for general anaesthesia and pain relief.

LPG is a cleaner fuel than alternatives and available for forklift, heating and cutting applications. Available sizes range from 15kg to 45kg.
