Oxygen
O2Oxygen is one of our most commonly selling and major gases, used in industries as well as for medical purposes
More...Chemical Symbol: | None |
Synonyms: | Compressed air, atmospheric air, the atmosphere (of the earth) |
Description: Air is the natural atmosphere of the earth, a nonflammable, colorless, odorless gas that consists of a mixture of gaseous elements (with argon, water vapor, a small amount of carbon dioxide, and traces of many other constitutes). |
|
Uses: Air meeting particular purity specifications has many important applications. Some of these applications are in medical, undersea, aerospace, and atomic energy fields. Air is also used in SCBAs used by industrial, emergency response, and firefighting personnel, and as a power source for various types of pneumatic equipment. |

Chemical Symbol: | O2 |
Synonyms: | LOX |
Description: Oxygen is colorless, odorless and tasteless. It is nonflammable, but supports combustion and life. Almost all materials that burn in air, burn much stronger force in oxygen. The atmosphere consists of 20.95 percent oxygen. At temperatures below -184°C oxygen is in liquid form and has a transparent blue color, and is slightly heavier than water. |
|
Uses: Oxygen is most commonly used for life supporting and combustion supporting purposes. It is used extensively with in the medical sector, high altitude flying, deep sea diving and in outer space. Industries use oxygen together with acetylene, propane, hydrogen and other fuel gases for welding and cutting. Furthermore, oxygen is used in production of other gases. |

Chemical Symbol: | CO2 |
Synonyms: | Carbon Dioxide |
Description: Carbon dioxide is a colorless gas. It is slightly acidic taste. Carbon dioxide is shipped in its vapor pressure of 830 psig. |
|
Uses: CO2 liquid is used as refrigerant in mechanical in refrigeration system. Bulk of refrigeration uses employing CO2 utilizes Dry Ice. The largest and most popular use of Dry Ice is Food preservation in distribution. A substantial volume is used for carbonating beverages. CO2 is used as an inert agent in fire extinguishers, canned food product to preventing oxidation It is also used in aerosol packaging for the operation of equipment where ordinary power is not available. |

Chemical Symbol: | N2 |
Synonyms: | LIN |
Description: Nitrogen is colorless, odorless, tasteless, nontoxic, inert and represents 78.08 percent of the atmosphere. Nitrogen is nonflammable and does not support combustion. It is slightly soluble in water and most other liquids. Nitrogen does not conduct heat and electricity well. |
|
Uses: Nitrogen has a wide range of uses. As a gas it is used for heat treatment, blanketing of oxygen sensitive liquids, production of semiconductor electronic components, blowing of foam type plastic, food processing and packing, inhibition of aerobic bacteria growth and magnesium reduction of aluminum scrap. It is also used for pressurizing aircraft tires and emergency bottles to operate landing gear, as well as purging of air-conditioners, refrigerators, electronic devices, high-voltage compression cables and pipelines. Liquid nitrogen is used for freezing of perishable foods, deflashing of rubber tires, cooling of concrete, cooling of electronic equipment, pulverizing plastics and simulating the conditions in outer space. Furthermore, liquid nitrogen can be used for freezing of liquids in pipelines for emergencies, low temperature stabilization and hardening of metals, preservation of blood, sperm and other biologicals and refrigeration of foods, as well as in missile and space programs. |

Chemical Symbol: | He |
Synonyms: | |
Description: Helium is the lightest element after hydrogen, and represents only 5 ppm of the atmosphere. It is a nonflammable and nontoxic gas. Helium is inert to chemical reactions and radiations. Out of all inert gases, helium has the highest thermal conductivity. The gas is only slightly soluble in water. |
|
Uses: Helium is used for welding and as a lifting gas in balloons. It is also used as a coolant in nuclear reactors and for growing germanium and silicon crystals for transistors, as well as the production of some metals such as titanium and zirconium. Helium is also used for filling cold-water fluorescent lamps as well as laser and fiber optic production. When mixed with oxygen it can be used for diving and medical purposes. Liquid helium is used for cooling superconductive magnets |
