Nitrous Oxide (N2O)

Product Description

Nitrous Oxide (N2O), commonly known as nitrous oxide, is a colorless, non-flammable gas with a slightly sweet odor. It is stored and supplied in compressed or liquefied form under pressure. N2O is chemically stable under normal conditions but acts as an oxidizing agent at elevated temperatures, supporting combustion. Due to its specific physical and chemical properties, it is widely used in medical, industrial, and scientific applications.

Applications & Uses

Medical Applications

• Used as an inhalation anesthetic and analgesic, commonly referred to as “laughing gas”

• Applied in dentistry, surgery, and emergency pain management

• Used in combination with oxygen for controlled medical sedation

Industrial Applications

• Oxidizing agent in chemical and specialty manufacturing processes

• Used in semiconductor and electronics industries for thin-film deposition and cleaning processes

• Applied in laboratories as a reactant or process gas

Food Industry

• Used as a propellant gas in food-grade applications (e.g. whipped cream production)

• Acts as a foaming and pressurizing agent under controlled conditions

Automotive & Performance Applications

• Used in motorsports and performance tuning to increase engine power output by enhancing oxygen availability during combustion
