Nitrogen gas used in a variety of applications including cutting, purging, cooling and freezing. It is a non-flammable air gas that forms 78% of the earth’s atmosphere. At normal pressure, nitrogen becomes a liquid below -196˚
Nitrogen is utilised in a wide range industry to improve yields and optimise performance. It enables the safe storage and use of flammables and prevents the explosion of combustibles. In addition, nitrogen improves the quality and shelf-life of air-sensitive materials such as food, pharmaceuticals and electronic products.
Given the extremely low temperatures of its liquid state, nitrogen is an ideal gas for cryogenic cooling and freezing. Liquid nitrogen is stored and transported in special insulated containers that are vented to prevent pressure build-up.
BNF offers liquid nitrogen around the world thanks to our vast network of supply.
