Carbon Dioxide

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is a nonflammable, colorless, odorless, non-toxic and slightly acidic gas. CO2 is a simple asphyxiant (lack of oxygen) and is approximately one and one-half times heavier than air.

Carbon dioxide has unique characteristics as it can exist in three forms: gas, liquid and solid (dry ice). CO2 can be filled one container at a time by weight into cylinders or liquid cans. These containers can be modified to allow either gaseous or liquid use of carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is typically stored in refrigerated liquid or vacuum jacketed tanks. These characteristics lend themselves to CO2's multitude of uses.

At Norco, our carbon dioxide is available in the following sizes (designated as lbs.): 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 35, 50, 75, 100, 450 (GP 55)
