Foodfresh Carbon Dioxide (CO₂)

Features

• colourless and odourless gas
• can cause the nose to sting in high concentration
• toxic in high concentrations
• an asphyxiant (does not support life)
• slightly corrosive in the presence of moisture
• highly soluble in water or moderate pressure

Cylinders of both liquid and gaseous carbon dioxide are available from BOC.

Dip tubes are used to extract the liquid from the cylinder and draw the liquid up through the valve.

To identify these cylinders, a white stripe is painted down the length of the cylinder.

Benefits

• inhibits growth of many fungi and bacteria
• higher density than air: provides good blanketing properties
• BOC sells a range of heated regulators which can be used for increasing flow rates
  

Application and use

• Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP)
• suitable for inerting applications
• carbonation of beverage products
  

Hazard

Carbon dioxide is heavier than air: leakage will collect in ducts, drains and low-lying areas.
