Industrial gases
Nitrogen is primarily found in the atmosphere: it makes up 78% of the air we breathe. It is also found in other forms.
In its gaseous state, nitrogen is neutral, colorless, tasteless, and non-flammable. It is an inert gas that does not support life.
Identification: Cylinder with a black body and shoulder (ogive), featuring labels for "Nitrogen" or "Dry Nitrogen."

| Semiconductors | Used in ultra-pure form for protection against impurities |
| Steel Industry | Stirring and protection of continuous-cast steels against oxidation |
| Other Applications | Inflation of automotive airbags |
A colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas, oxygen is essential to life and reacts strongly in the presence of many other chemical substances.
Identification: Cylinder with a gray body and a white shoulder (ogive), featuring labels for "Oxygen."
Cylinder Valve: R5/8’’ W22.91*1/14’’ MIE-AP7

A synthetic gas, acetylene is generally produced from the reaction of calcium carbide with water. This gaseous hydrocarbon is colorless, has a distinct garlic-like odor, and is unstable. Highly combustible, acetylene produces a very hot flame (over 3,000°C or 5,400°F) when combined with oxygen.
Identification: Cylinder with a red body and a brown shoulder (ogive), featuring labels for "Acetylene."
Cylinder Valve: Based on ø21ø10/R58’’ left-hand MIE-AP7
Applications :
| Industry / Activity | Application |
| Glass | Lubrication of glass bottle production molds |
| Mechanical/Metal Construction | Cutting and welding (combined with oxygen) |
A colorless and odorless gas, recovered and purified from industrial processes. We provide application expertise, security of supply, and quality you can count on.
Applications :
In MIG/MAG welding, it serves as a shielding gas, protecting the weld pool from oxidation. Furthermore, when combined with argon, carbon dioxide is used to achieve higher welding speeds and reduce the need for post-weld treatment.
Helium is used in various applications and industries. It serves as a cryogenic agent to cool superconducting magnetic coils in medical equipment, such as:
MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)
NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance)
