Mixtures

What are gas mixtures?

Gas mixtures are specific combinations of compressed gases that are carefully homogenized to meet the needs of various sectors. Their composition and quality are strictly regulated to ensure their effectiveness and safety.

They can be classified according to their use:

• Industrial mixtures: optimized for welding, cutting, and manufacturing processes.
• Medical mixtures: used in medical treatments and advanced diagnostics.
• Food-grade mixtures: preserve the quality and freshness of packaged foods.

Main mixtures and their applications

1. Industrial use mixtures

These mixtures are designed to improve industrial processes, such as welding, metal cutting, and other technical applications.

Common examples include:

• Argon + Carbon Dioxide: ideal for MIG/MAG welding of carbon steel.
• Nitrogen + Carbon Dioxide: used in laser cutting processes and for protecting sensitive materials.
• Oxygen + Carbon Dioxide: promotes combustion in specific industrial processes.
• Argon + Nitrogen + Carbon Dioxide: expands welding capabilities in complex environments.

2. Mixtures for medicinal use

These combinations are vital for specialized medical and diagnostic procedures, such as pulmonary function tests or applications in advanced respiratory therapy:

• Synthetic Medical Air + Carbon Monoxide + Helium: used in pulmonary diffusion tests to evaluate oxygen transfer in the lungs.
• Synthetic Medical Air + Carbon Monoxide + Methane + Acetylene: used in respiratory gas analysis and metabolic diagnostics.

3. Food Grade Mixtures

• Nitrogen + Carbon Dioxide: preserves the freshness and texture of packaged foods by eliminating oxygen, slowing down spoilage.
• Oxygen + Carbon Dioxide: maintains the color and freshness of meats and other perishable products.
• Custom Blends: tailored for specific packaging and food processing needs.
