Carbon Dioxide  Manufacturers, Traders, Suppliers

Carbon Dioxide finds extensive use in the beverage industry for carbonation and preservation, and in the food industry for packaging and freezing applications. Its high purity makes it ideal for medical applications, such as in cryosurgery, and in laboratory settings for chromatography and calibration purposes. Its applications extend to environmental uses such as in fire extinguishers and welding, and in industrial processes like chemical synthesis and metal fabrication.

1. Carbon dioxide is used extensively as a neutralizing agent for pH control，for example, in cement curing water treatment and in many other commercially important chemical applications.
2. Carbon dioxide is employed in medicine in mixtures with oxygen, for reanimating victims of asphyxiation (drowning, electrocution, carbon monoxide poisoning, diphtheritic toxin morphine, scopolamine). It also serves in the treatment of certain skin affections. Carbon dioxide is also used for blood analysis and dehydration of penicillin.
3. Carbon dioxide is used for the chemical vapour deposition of silicon dioxide.
4. A substantial volume of carbon dioxide is used for carbonating baverages such as beer and many soft drinks and conservation of wine, unfermented grape juice and various fruit juices.
5. Carbon dioxide is used to modify atmospheres, for example in green houses where it increases plant growth rates or combined with nitrogen to prolong quality in food packaging applications(MAP).
6. Carbon dioxide is used as an inerting agent for various mild steel welding operations, often in combination with argon.
7. Liquid carbon dioxide is becoming increasingly used as a refrigerant in mechanical refrigerating systems due to its environmental credentials.
8. Carbon dioxide is used in mixtures for car emission monitoring and environmental monitoring. Carbon dioxide is used for fire extinguishing.
