Argon

Safe and reliable supply of pure argon and mixtures

Argon is used as a protective atmosphere for a large number of industrial processes, including steelmaking, welding and metal fabrication, electronics, food preservation, and wine making.

Pure argon and mixtures with argon gas are commonly used in shielded arc processes for welding aluminum, stainless steel, brass, and copper. When used as a shielding gas in arc welding processes and plasma cutting applications, argon provides an inert atmosphere to prevent oxidation or other chemical changes that could impair the weld. In steelmaking, argon prevents interaction between the liquid metal and the surrounding atmosphere.

ARCAL™ brand pure argon and gas mixtures are available in four ready-to-weld products that cover virtually any welding application. Each one is designed to be easy to use, reliable and efficient, when and where you need it.

In laboratories, high purity argon is primarily intended for chromatography and other analytical and process control applications.
