CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2)

Carbon Dioxide is formed from the combination of two elements: carbon and oxygen. Carbon dioxide can exist in any one of all three states of matter, depending on conditions of temperature and pressure. It can easily and safely be liquefied, solidified, handled and stored. Under normal atmospheric conditions, carbon dioxide exists as a colorless, odorless gas with a slightly pungent, acid taste. It will not burn or support combustion.

Carbon Dioxide is widely used among many industries such as Chemicals, Pharmaceuticals, Food & Beverage, Healthcare, Metals Industry, Pulp & Paper, Electronics, Waste Treatment, Fire Extinguishers and a few others.
