Airgas Nitrous Oxide


Click here to inquire about bulk nitrous oxide.

Nitrous Oxide is currently being produced for Airgas in four separate facilities. When inhaled, this colorless gas produces desensitization to pain, thus its nickname "laughing gas." Although this application may be the best known to the general public, nitrous oxide is a multifaceted gas with several applications. Nitrous oxide is widely used in the medical field. When combined with the stronger types of anesthetics, it acts as a relaxing agent while the additional anesthetic actually induces the "sleeping" reaction.

Another use for nitrous oxide is a propellant for food products such as whipped cream or cheese products. Nitrous is also used in the automotive industry as a gas used to inflate airbags on point of impact.

Nitrous oxide is sold in bulk on a wholesale only basis through Airgas. We do not distribute this particular product directly to the end user.
