We supply gases for welding and metal fabrication, beverage dispensing, automotive performance, manufacturing, food processing and a wide range of specialized uses.


Whether you need a cylinder for your home workshop, a dependable gas supply for your restaurant, larger cylinders for a busy fabrication shop, or a bulk system for a high-volume operation, we can help you evaluate the right supply arrangement.

Carbon dioxide is one of the most versatile gases a supply company can offer. Many customers know it as a welding gas, but restaurants, bars, breweries and food-processing facilities also depend on it.

Common Uses Include:

  • Welding and metal fabrication: Shielding gas for MIG welding, particularly carbon steel, and as a component in argon/CO₂ welding blends.
     

  • Restaurants and soda fountains: Carbonating soft drinks and supplying post-mix beverage dispensing systems. Bars, breweries and restaurants: Dispensing draft beer and other carbonated beverages.
     

  • Home beverage enthusiasts: Homebrewing, keg systems, soda makers and carbonated water setups.
     

  • Food processing: Cooling, chilling and freezing certain food products.
     

  • Commercial food production: Modified-atmosphere packaging and other processes designed to preserve product quality.
     

  • Fire protection: Certain approved fire-suppression systems use CO₂.

Carbon Dioxide (CO₂)

Argon is an inert shielding gas used where the surrounding atmosphere must be kept away from hot metal or other sensitive materials.

Common Uses Include:

  • TIG welding: The standard shielding gas for many TIG welding applications, including stainless steel, aluminum and other nonferrous metals.
     

  • MIG welding: Used for aluminum and other applications, as well as in argon-based gas blends for steel.
     

  • Automotive fabrication: Custom exhausts, intercooler piping, aluminum components and performance parts.
     

  • Manufacturing: Protecting metals during specialized processing and heat-treatment operations.
     

  • Potential customers: TIG welders, metal artists, fabrication shops, automotive builders, manufacturers, laboratories and wineries.
     

Ar + CO₂ · MIG welding and metal fabrication. Argon/CO₂ is a popular shielding-gas combination for MIG welding steel. Different blend ratios support different welding applications and operating preferences.

Common Uses Include:

  • MIG welding mild steel: One of the most common applications for argon/CO₂ blends.
     

  • Automotive repair and restoration: Bodywork, chassis fabrication and repair of steel components.
     

  • Fabrication shops: Welding frames, brackets, machinery, enclosures and structural components.
     

  • Manufacturing: Repetitive production welding and general steel fabrication.
     

  • Home workshops: DIY metal projects, welding tables, trailers and equipment repairs.
     

  • Industrial maintenance: Repairing and fabricating steel equipment.

Argon / Carbon Dioxide Mix

Argon is an inert shielding gas used where the surrounding atmosphere must be kept away from hot metal or other sensitive materials.

Common Uses Include:

  • Restaurants and beverage service: Nitrogen/CO₂ blends for dispensing certain draft beers and nitrogen-rich beverages.
     

  • Coffee shops and breweries: Nitrogen for nitro coffee, beer and specialized beverage dispensing systems.
     

  • Food packaging: Modified-atmosphere packaging to help preserve food quality.
     

  • Food production: Inerting, purging, chilling and freezing applications, including liquid nitrogen where appropriate.
     

  • Manufacturing: Purging tanks, pipelines and process equipment.
     

  • Industrial maintenance: Pressure testing and inerting applications when the procedure permits nitrogen.
     

  • Automotive and tire service: Nitrogen tire inflation for certain fleets, performance vehicles and specialty applications.
     

  • Laser cutting: Assist gas for certain laser-cutting processes, with purity requirements determined by the equipment and material.
     

  • Potential customers: Restaurants, breweries, coffee shops, food packagers, manufacturers, automotive facilities, HVAC contractors, machine shops and laboratories.
     

Nitrogen

Oxygen supports combustion and is essential to many metalworking and industrial operations. It is commonly paired with a fuel gas for torch cutting and heating.

Common Uses Include:

  • Oxy-fuel cutting: Used with acetylene or another suitable fuel gas for cutting compatible metals.
     

  • Metal fabrication: Torch cutting, heating, brazing and certain welding-related processes.
     

  • Demolition and scrap yards: Metal cutting and dismantling operations using appropriate equipment.
     

  • Automotive repair: Torch work, heating seized components and other approved metalworking applications.
     

  • Food and biotechnology: Certain fermentation and controlled production processes.
     

  • Healthcare: Medical oxygen for authorized medical applications, subject to applicable product, quality and regulatory requirements.

Oxygen

Carbon dioxide is one of the most versatile gases a supply company can offer. Many customers know it as a welding gas, but restaurants, bars, breweries and food-processing facilities also depend on it.

Common Uses Include:

  • Oxy-acetylene cutting: Cutting steel and other compatible metals withthe correct torch setup.
     

  • Brazing: Joining metal components in plumbing, refrigeration and mechanical applications.
     

  • Metal heating: Localized heating for maintenance, fabrication and repair.
     

  • Welding: Oxy-acetylene welding of suitable materials and applications.
     

  • Automotive repair: Heating components, metal repair and specialized shop work.
     

  • HVAC and refrigeration: Brazing copper tubing and compatible fittings using the appropriate procedures.
     

  • Industrial maintenance: Repair work and heating tasks where oxy-fuel equipment is suitable.
     

  • Metal fabrication: Cutting, bending preparation, straightening and other thermal operations.

Acetylene

Nitrous oxide is a specialty motorsports product used in compatible engine systems to increase the amount of oxygen available for combustion, allowing additional fuel to be burned under the right operating conditions.

Common Uses Include:

  • Drag racing: Nitrous-assisted engine performance systems.
     

  • Street and strip vehicles: Compatible aftermarket performance applications.
     

  • Race engines: Properly engineered nitrous injection systems.
     

  • Performance workshops: Installation, service and maintenance of approved nitrous systems.
     

  • Motorsports fabrication: Supporting the needs of shops that build and maintain racing vehicles.
     

  • Important product distinction: Nitrous oxide is not nitrogen gas. Racing nitrous oxide must be supplied and marketed for the intended application, with suitable product specifications and cylinder service procedures. It is not a substitute for medical or food-grade products, and inhalation can cause serious injury or death. Racing systems must be installed and used in accordance with manufacturer instructions and applicable motorsports rules.
