Argon (Ar) is non-toxic, odourless and colourless high-density inert gas used as protection gas in welding various metals.

When using argon gas during welding process, smelted metal is denser and, as a result, the metals are welded faster. Argon is characterised by extremely low thermal conductivity, therefore, is also used in other fields of industry.

Argon is obtained from the atmosphere by dispersing the air. Argon gas is filled in grey coloured cylinders with dark green shoulder, Euro-cylinders and other cryogenic containers.  Argon used for welding meets LST EN ISO 14175 standard (Group I1).

We offer argon:

  • 5 l (1,1 m³, 200 bar);
  • 10 l (2,14 m³, 200 bar);
  • 20 l (4,34 m³, 200 bar);
  • 50 l (10,7 m3, 200 bar);
  • Cylinder bundles 12 x 50 l (128,4 m3, 200 bar);
  • Cylinder bundles 12 x 50 l (183,6 m3, 300 bar);
  • Liquid argon (tons).

We can fill the cylinders of other volumes as well. The clients buying a considerable amount of argon are supplied with special storage tanks for the product and argon is delivered with semitrailers.

Fields of industry:

Welding and Metalworking:

  • TIG welding: Welding stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, and other non-ferrous metals.
  • MIG/MAG welding: Protects the arc and the welding zone from oxidation.
  • Steel and metal cutting: Plasma cutting with gases ensures a stable arc and clean welds.

Industrial Manufacturing Processes:

  • Electronics and semiconductor manufacturing: Provides an inert environment for component production.
  • Metal production and processing: Argon is used to protect casting molds and create an inert environment, e.g., for aluminum alloys.

Medical and Laboratory Use:

  • Cryogenics: Liquid argon is used for cooling and preserving biological samples.
  • Laboratory conditions: Provides a protective environment for sensitive chemical processes.


Scientific and Technological Research:

Used in lasers, plasma chambers, and other technological systems.

Physical chemistry and experimental material research in laboratories.

Lighting and Electronics:

  • Used in light bulbs, neon signs, and electronic devices as an inert environment.

Other Applications:

Protective atmosphere in chemical or pharmaceutical industries for oxidation control.

Safety:

Argon does not cause direct harm to the human body, but this gas has the property of expelling oxygen from the air. In the air at more than 33 percent. concentration of these gases, there is a risk of suffocation and the use rooms must be ventilated.
