Carbon dioxide is a gas also present in the earth’s atmosphere in a concentration of about 0.04%, an important concentration in maintaining the balance of the biosphere.

• Chemical formula: CO₂
• Purity: ≥ 99,5%
• Carbon dioxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless and non-toxic gas
• Carbon dioxide is a non-flammable gas

In high concentrations it has a slightly pungent, acidic taste and can affect breathing. Carbon dioxide is heavier than air and can accumulate in basements or at the bottom of rooms.

It is soluble in water and liquefies easily at low pressures.

Carbon dioxide is used:

• in the food industry in combination with other gases for packaging in modified atmosphere, for carbonating drinks and preserving wine or fruit juices, for cooling and freezing food
• for water treatment, as a neutralizing agent for PH control
• for welding and metal processing
• in combination with oxygen can help stimulate breathing
• for blood tests
• as a raw material for the production of urea and methanol
• in agriculture, for the production of fertilizers or for stimulating production in greenhouses
• for extinguishing fires
• to optimize the yield of oil wells
