Industry Gases
CO2 |
Carbon Dioxide
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is used as a raw material in organic and inorganic chemical production. It can often replace solvents in chemical synthesis and separation processes. Shop Here. |
CO |
Carbon Monoxide
Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a fundamental part of the chemical industry. It is one of the building blocks for many industrial chemicals including methanol, acetic acid, isocyanates, oxo alcohols and many more important chemicals used and fabricated in this industry. Shop Here. |
He |
Helium
Because it remains a gas at extremely low temperatures, helium (He) is used to detect leaks in chemical processes and cool analytical equipment. Shop Here. |
H2 |
Hydrogen
In the chemical industry, hydrogen (H2) is used to manufacture ammonia and methanol, but is also vital in the making of a wide range of other key products including aniline, cyclohexane and a range of non-edible oils, plastics and insulation materials. Shop Here. |
N2 |
Nitrogen
Nitrogen (N2) is used as a pressurizing agent in the chemical industry, and it can help propel liquids through pipelines. It is also used to shield oxygen-sensitive materials from the air. Shop Here. |
O2 |
Oxygen
Oxygen (O2), when used in its purest form, is used to produce many important chemicals such as ethylene oxide and titanium dioxide. Oxygen is also used to increase the production capacity and efficiency of the oxidation process. Shop Here. |

Everything we offer is a click away and it will arrive before you know it.
Behind every package of fresh meat, bag of pre-cut salad, and bottle of craft beer sits an invisible guardian – specialized gas mixtures that preserve flavor, extend shelf life, and ensure product safety. At nexAir, we work with food processors and packagers throughout the Southeast to develop custom gas solutions that address the unique challenges of food production. Our approach goes beyond simply supplying cylinders – we become partners in your quality control process.
The Critical Role of Gases in Food Preservation
Food spoilage begins the moment a product leaves the production line. Oxygen fuels bacterial growth, accelerates oxidation, and triggers enzymatic browning. Carbon dioxide inhibits microbial activity. Nitrogen displaces oxygen and maintains package integrity. Understanding the precise balance needed for each food product requires specialized knowledge of both gas properties and food science. Our team works at this intersection, helping you determine the optimal gas mixtures for your specific products.
Modified Atmosphere Packaging That Preserves Natural Quality
Consumers increasingly demand fresh, minimally processed foods without artificial preservatives. Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) allows you to meet these demands by replacing the air inside packaging with carefully calibrated gas mixtures. For red meats, we supply high-oxygen blends that maintain the bright red color consumers associate with freshness. For prepared salads and sliced produce, low-oxygen mixtures prevent wilting and browning without affecting taste or texture. Our custom MAP solutions help your products maintain their natural appearance and flavor profile throughout their shelf life.
Ensuring Consistent Quality Through Precision Blending
Quality control in food production demands consistency – consumers expect the same taste, appearance, and freshness with every purchase. Gas mixtures that vary from batch to batch can undermine this consistency. Our automated blending systems deliver precise gas compositions every time, eliminating the variability that can affect product quality. We regularly calibrate and certify our equipment to food-grade standards, giving you confidence that the gas touching your products meets the highest purity requirements.
Technical Support When You Need It Most
Production issues rarely happen during business hours. That's why our team remains available to help troubleshoot gas-related challenges whenever they arise. When a bakery customer noticed inconsistent product volume during an overnight shift, our on-call technician identified a pressure fluctuation in their carbon dioxide supply and quickly implemented a solution. This responsive support helps prevent quality control failures that could otherwise result in product loss and delivery delays.
Partnering for Continuous Improvement
Food trends, processing technologies, and packaging materials constantly evolve. We work with our food industry customers to regularly evaluate gas solutions against changing requirements and opportunities for improvement. Our technical team keeps you informed about innovations in gas applications that might benefit your operation. This collaborative approach helps you stay ahead of challenges and continue meeting the high-quality standards your customers expect.
Maintaining quality control in food production requires vigilance, specialized knowledge, and reliable partners. At nexAir, we provide more than just industrial gases – we deliver application expertise, responsive service, and custom solutions that address the specific challenges of your food products. Contact our food industry specialists today to discuss how our gas solutions can strengthen your quality control program and help deliver the consistent product excellence your customers demand.
