Carbon dioxide (Co2) is supplied compressed in a cylinder or as a liquid. It is available in various volumes. CO2 is soluble in water and dissolves to form a carbonic acid. Carbonic acid is what gives the fizz to soft drinks. It is also used to create artificial snow in the entertainment industry. Carbon dioxide is widely used in greenhouse farming and gardening too. It is best for rapid freezing and chilling in the food industry.
- Carbon dioxide Industrial Grade: The industrial-grade CO2 is used in plasma cutting, cooling during thermal spraying and MIG steel welding. It is also used in inerting, pH balancing and pipe freezing.
- Carbon dioxide Lab Grade: High purity carbon dioxide is used in lasers as well as in labs where low levels of hydrocarbons and moisture are vital for optimal laser performance. It is combined with nitrogen and helium to form resonator gas mixture for gas lasers
- Carbon dioxide Aviation Grade: The gas is mainly used in aviation to inflate the emergency escape slides in seconds.
- Carbon dioxide Food Grade:Food grade gas is used for pressure dispensing soft drinks, beer etc. The gas helps preserve the quality of foodstuff and is mostly used during the production stage itself. The gas gives visual appeal, lasting quality and sparkling freshness to beverages.
