3.5 Carbon Dioxide (CO₂)
Carbon Dioxide is used as a cryogenic fluid for processes such as tissue conservation, deep-freezing and fire extinction due to its non-combustible nature. Carbon dioxide also can be found in welding applications either as pure gas or in gas mixtures (e.g. ARCAL™). Food-grade carbon dioxide is used in carbonated beverages and for food processing applications such as chilling and freezing, modified atmosphere packaging and cold transportation.
