Specialty Gases

Specialty gases are commonly used in analytical laboratories to conduct analysis and quality controls on raw materials, end products and industrial emissions to detect the trace and quantity of different components and impurities. The gases that are commonly used include:

• Pure gases such as helium, argon, nitrogen, hydrogen, air and oxygen, which are used as carrier gases to vehicle sample to detector. They need to be of very high purity so as not to affect the analytical results or the analytical equipment. Click here for the specifications. (Gas specification , eCatalogue).
• Calibration gas mixtures, which contain from 2 to 40 components, with very precise dosages and high purity. They act as the reference gases used to calibrate the equipment itself.
• Rare gases such as neon, krypton and xenon, which range from standard purity to ultra-high-purity for industrial, medical, electronics and aviation applications. Some of the applications are improved surgical success with xenon, xenon powered spacecrafts, better lighting with xenon and krypton and krypton for high insulated windows.

• Gaseous chemicals such as ammonia, carbon monoxide, ethylene oxide, hydrogen sulphide and many more, are used in various industries for applications like surface hardening, furnace burning etc. We are able to supply different specifications according to each customer’s requirements.

• Bulk hydrocarbons and hydrocarbons mixtures such as ethylene, methane, N-Butane, Propane, Propylene, Natural Gas,etc which are mainly used in the Chemicals and Oil & Gas industries and as feedstock and fuel for combustion, particularly in heating applications. We can supply customized hydrocarbons and hydrocarbons mixtures, upon request.
