Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Argon GeneralCarbon Dioxide is non-flammable, colourless, odourless and slightly acidic. With its inert quality, Carbon Dioxide is suitable for prevention and suppression of combustion and oxidization. It is a dominant refrigerant or cooling agent in the industry. Solid Carbon Dioxide is used in the food industry for chilling and freezing. Carbon Dioxide is also extensively used in fire fighting applications.Properties Heavier than air (about 1.5 times). Freezes to become solid at atmospheric pressure. Liquefies under pressure. Does not support combustion. Chemically acidic and water-soluble. Oxygen Nitrogen Carbon Dioxide Helium Hydrogen Balloon Gas Specialty Gases Diving Gas Specifications LPG Normal grade 99.8% purity Applications Food freezing, chilling and refrigerant. Fire extinguishing agent. Alkali neutralization, waste treatment. Mould setting. Inert gas pressurization. Beverage carbonation. Tobacco expansion Oil well recovery. Plant growth. Carrier gas for deodorants, odorants, pesticides. Breathing stimulant.
