Nitrogen

Meeting industry’s nitrogen supply needs.

Safety Data Sheet (SDS)

Air Liquide supplies liquid and gaseous nitrogen to every industry. For example, chemical industries and industrial plants require large volumes of gaseous nitrogen to purge out oxygen and moisture in blanketing operations. The food and beverage industry requires varying quantities of both liquid and gaseous nitrogen for food processing and packaging applications and to help maintain safe temperatures while food products are stored and transported.

Air Liquide is a leading supplier of industrial compressed nitrogen gas, industrial liquid nitrogen, and onsite production of industrial nitrogen in a range of purities and concentrations.

Laser Cutting and Plasma Cutting

Industrial nitrogen is an inert gas used for laser and plasma cutting of different materials such as Stainless Steel and Aluminum. Industrial nitrogen keeps the surface of the metal free of oxidation maintaining the metal’s original surface colour (minimises the black residue caused by oxidation).

Our Solution

LASAL™ branded gases include assist gases specially manufactured to high quality standards and supplied in a range of modes to maximise efficiency and reduce waste.

Purging, Leak Testing, Brazing and Inerting

The solubility of industrial nitrogen and inert properties make it an ideal gas for purging leak testing, brazing and inerting.

Air Liquide has a wide range of equipment and product specifications to deliver industrial nitrogen efficiently in your processes.

Food

Industrial nitrogen is used in the food industry for quick freezing. As an industrial gas expert, Air Liquide provides its food industry customers with full process support and services. At the same time, we retain a strong focus on safety, hygiene and cost-efficiency.

Our Solution
