The Right Gas For The Job
The right gas for the job means more uptime, increased productivity, enhanced operational processes, all of which leads to a reduction of costs.
Oxygen
- 21% of Earth's atmosphere
- Boiling point: -297.3°F / -183°C
- Pale blue in liquid form; colorless as gas
- Reacts with nearly every element on the periodic table
- Liquid form known as LOX (Liquid Oxygen)
Applications: Chemical processing, glass manufacturing, health services, metal fabrication, refining, pulp and paper, and wastewater treatment.
Did you know?
Liquid oxygen is magnetic — it's one of the few gases attracted to a magnet.
Nitrogen
- 78% of Earth's atmosphere
- Boiling point: -320.5°F / -195.8°C
- Colorless, odorless, and tasteless
- Non-flammable — does not support combustion
- Liquid form known as LIN / LN2 (Liquid Nitrogen)
Applications: Refineries, food processing, electronics, grain storage, purging, and blanketing applications.
Did you know?
Named from Greek meaning "no life" — yet nitrogen is essential to all living things.
Argon
- ~0.93% of Earth's atmosphere — third most abundant gas
- Boiling point: -302.6°F / -185.9°C
- Colorless; glows blue-violet in electric fields
- Chemically inert — forms almost no compounds
- Liquid form known as LAR (Liquid Argon)
Applications: Aluminum production, electronics, glass manufacturing, steel production, and specialty welding.
Did you know?
Named from Greek argos meaning "lazy" — it almost never reacts with anything.
Helium
- ~0.0005% of Earth's atmosphere
- Boiling point: -452.1°F / -268.9°C — lowest of any element
- Colorless as a gas; superfluid in liquid form
- ~7× lighter than air
Applications: Superconducting MRI magnets, semiconductor production, leak testing, and balloon lifting.
Did you know?
So light it escapes Earth's gravity and drifts into space — once released, it's gone forever.
