Carbon Dioxide

• What is Carbon Dioxide, (CO2) used for?
  CO2 is one of the most versatile gases, it has many uses – beer and soft drink dispensing, gas purging, food packaging, welding, fire fighting, scientific equipment testing applications.
• How pure is our Carbon Dioxide (CO2)?
  Our standard level is 99.9%
  
• Do we have high purity Carbon Dioxide (CO2)?
  Yes, 99.9% is considered as high purity.
  
• Is food grade better than normal industrial grade?
  No, food grade and industrial grade are the same 99.8%
  
• Do our cylinders have top or side entry valves?
  We are in the process of changing all valves to side entry pressure retention.
  
• What is a pressure retention valve?
  A pressure retention valve maintains positive pressure in the cylinder thus preventing contaminants from entering the cylinder and ensuring the purity of the gas.
  
• How safe is the gas?
  The gas is inert (doesn’t react to anything), nontoxic, colourless, odourless and tasteless. We always recommend any gas must be used in a well ventilated area to reduce the danger of asphyxiation. It is now Australian Standard that an oxygen displacement alarm is fitted in all cellars. CO2 is a very cold gas. Be aware of cold burns.The cylinder should be stored in an upright position, with burst disc in vapour phase.
