Argon for additive manufacturing

Thanks to its chemical-physical characteristics, Argon is a frequently used gas in the additive manufacturing processes. It's mostly used for those materials that are particularly reactive with oxygen or other air components.

Argon for food and beverages

More than just inerting.

Argon for the metal fabrication industry

Argon is one of the most important gases for the metal fabrication industry. It is colorless, odorless, non-flammable and non-toxic, which ensures that the gas can be used on a very large scale. Argon is generally considered to be one of the best shielding agents, being present in the air. In addition, it is a very favorable gas to maintain the stability of the arc.

Argon for the pharmaceutical and biotechnological industry

Nippon Gases offers liquid and gaseous argon for special processes. Argon can be used for particular inerting needs and in pressurisation of lyophilisation process.
