BOC – The Name for Insulating Gas

25 September 2009

With the 2010 uprating of the Building Regulations requiring significantly higher energy efficiency levels from glazing units, many businesses will be looking at gas-filling as a cost-effective way to improve performance. BOC is Ireland's largest supplier of industrial and special gases, with over 100 years experience in the provision and handling of these materials.

BOC can provide argon, krypton and xenon gases for sealed unit manufacture in a range of cylinder sizes to suit customer preference - and as liquid for larger customers where required. As these are inert gases with low conductivity, they can be used in uprating the thermal performance of sealed units without incurring any adverse reaction in the high tech desiccants and sealants used in today's state of the art glazing units.

BOC provides full technical back-up and support for all of its products. Insulating gas cylinders can be ordered by phone for next day delivery or purchased direct from one of our nationwide chain of retail outlets.

As the country's largest supplier of gases and related equipment, BOC can also supply personal protective equipment (PPE) and consumables.
