Pures

Acetylene (C2H2, Ethyne)

Acetylene is used as a raw material for the production of electrically conducting plastics, such as polyacetylene.

Synthetic Air (80% N2 + 20% O2)

Synthetic air is used as zero gas in the running and calibration of environmental monitoring and test measurements.

Argon (Ar, R-740)

Argon is used as a carrier gas in sputtering, plasma etching and ion implantations, and as a blanket atmosphere in crystal growth.

Carbon Dioxide Pure

Carbon dioxide is used extensively as a neutralising agent for pH control, for example, in cement curing water treatment and in many other commercial applications.

Hydrogen (H2, R-702)

High purity hydrogen finds widespread usage in the electronics industry as a reducing agent and as a carrier gas.

Nitrogen (N2, R728)

Nitrogen is used in large quantities in the chemical industry for blanketing, purging and pressure transfer of flammable chemicals.

Nitrous Oxide (N2O, R-744A)

Nitrous oxide is used as a general anaesthetic in both medical and dental surgeries. To be effective as an anaesthetic, nitrous oxide must be inhaled i with air or oxygen.

Oxygen (O2, R-732)

High purity oxygen is used for the formation of silicon dioxide and metal oxide, as an etchant for photoresist and in mixtures with halocarbons for etching silicon.

Propane (C3H8, R-290)

Propane is of interest as a specialty gas mainly in mixtures used to calibrate process control analysers in the petrochemical industry.
