Industrial Oxygen

Primarily in the brazing, soldering and gas welding processes with acetylene. It is also used in cutting and heating processes.

Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

Used as a “shielding agent” in the MIG welding process, the production of Dry Ice and in Carbonated Drinks.

Nitrous Oxide

Used primarily in the medical field as an anesthetic during surgical procedures.  Many call this the “Laughing Gas” because of its effect on people.*

Nitrogen

This is a very versatile, inert gas that is used for everything from being a “flushing” agent.  It is used in combination with other gases in the medical field and it is used in the Tires of Most Airlines, Trucking Companies, Buses and a growing number of private vehicles because of its safety features and savings in tire wear and fuel consumption.

Helium 

The popular choice for inflating balloons for parties, for business and for decorative purposes.  Under Ultra High Pressure this inert gas is also used for many analytical purposes in various industries.

Argon

Another in the family of inert gases, Argon is used extensively in the TIG welding process.

Compressed Air

 Primarily used in scuba tanks to provide breathing air to divers.

Hydrogen

Used as a fuel gas.

Mixed Gases

(Argon 25%/CO2 75%) is used in the welding of mild steel and is also used in MIG welding process.

Ammonia (NH 3)

Chemical/Physical Properties

• At room temperature, ammonicia is a colorless, highly irritating gas with a pungent, suffocating odor.

• In pure form it is known as Anhydrous Ammonia

• Ammonia has alkaline properties and is corrosive.

• Ammonia gas is easily compressed and forms a clear liquid under pressure.

• Ammonia is not flammable, but the containers of ammonia are pressurized vessels and may explode when exposed to high heat.

• Ammonia is lighter than air and will rise.  

Uses

• Used to  produc e Agricultural  Fertilizers.

• Principally used in Belize  as a refrigerant gas instead of Chlorofluoracarbons { Freon Gases}  in Industrial Refrigeration Systems

Other Gases

Fabrigas also sells ultra high purity gases for use with gas chromatograph machines and other analytical equipment.
