Carbon Dioxide

Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) is a tasteless, colourless, non-toxic, non-flammable, liquefied gas. 

It is a very small part of the atmospheric air around us (approx. 0.03%).  It helps control our breathing and is used by plants to help them grow. Plants, in turn, release oxygen, which people depend on for survival.

CO₂ exists in three states - gas (for packing), liquid (for freezing and refrigeration) and in solid form (dry ice for refrigeration). The typical temperature of liquid CO₂, in storage, would be -23ºC at 17 bar.

Typical areas of application

• Refrigerant in cryogenic freezing
• pH control in water treatment
• Carbonated beverages

Distribution and Technical support

Our CO₂ for the UK market comes from production plants located in Cleveland, Cheshire, Avon and from our own European CO₂ plants via our import terminal in South East England.  We are able to offer the most robust supply base of all UK CO₂ suppliers, backed by a specialist and dedicated road fleet.  Our terminal at Teesside enables us to export CO₂ to our sister Companies in Europe, or to import at times of short UK supply.

A Material Safety Data Sheet or Product Specification sheet will be posted upon request.
