Nitrogen gas is the most abundant gas available in the earth’s atmosphere. It is usually supplied in a range of purities to suit a wide spectrum of applications. Nitrogen finds use mainly in blanketing, purging and chemical analysis. Nitrogen is widely used in industries like food packaging, beverages, energy, automotive, aeronautical, marine, transportation, metal fabrication, biotechnology, refining, welding and electronics.
- Nitrogen Industrial Grade: This is supplied as a cryogenic liquid in bulk. The most common uses for industrial-grade nitrogen is shrink fitting, blanketing and purging. Nitrogen is in the inert state at ambient temperatures and in moderate conditions, it is this property that makes it so versatile. It is also used for pressure transfer of liquids, sparging, heat treatment and tyre fitting. It is also used as an assist gas in laser or plasma cutting.
- Nitrogen Laboratory Grade: Nitrogen is the most commonly used lab gas and used for blanketing, purging and pressurization. It is used as a carrier gas in chromatography, zero gas in analytical instruments, balance gas in calibration, used in the gas mixture for atmospheric packaging, as a component in fire extinguishers and in blanketing furnaces in the semiconductor industry.
- Nitrogen Food Grade:It is supplied as a compressed gas or liquid in a range of volumes, used for controlled atmospheric storage of food, for modified atmospheric packaging, food freezing and chilling as well as grain fumigation. When in combination at low temperature, it is highly effective for extending the shelf life of food substances.
- Nitrogen Pharmaceutical Grade:Available as a compressed gas in cylinders or as a cryogenic liquid. It is used in the production of a wide variety of pharmaceutical products. The gas meets the regulatory purity specifications for pharma manufacturing.
