Nitrous oxide

Nitrous oxide (CAS 10024-97-2 ), also known as E942 and commonly referenced as N2O, is a compressed gas used across pharmaceutical manufacturing and food processing as an aerosol propellant and packaging medium. Its rapid solubility and inert behavior under pressure make it a preferred choice where product integrity and contamination control are critical sourcing criteria for industrial and medical applications. In pharmaceutical manufacturing, nitrous oxide is used as a carrier gas and propellant in metered-dose inhalers and topical aerosol formulations. The food industry relies on this gas as a pressurizing agent. It is used in whipped cream dispensers and other pressurized food-grade packaging, where it dissolves into fat-based products without imparting off-flavors or altering the chemical profile of the contents. Medical and dental facilities source it as an inhalation analgesic for procedural sedation, requiring pharmaceutical-grade supply with stringent purity documentation and safety certifications for patient use. It also functions as a specialty oxidizer in certain analytical and combustion processes. Nitrous oxide is supplied as a liquefied compressed gas in cylinders and bulk dewars for various volume needs. Fill quantities range from small laboratory cylinders to large-volume industrial supply. Recognized grades include pharmaceutical ( Ph. Eur. , USP ), food-grade ( FCC , E942-compliant), and technical grade. Grade selection directly affects documentation requirements, so buyers should confirm intended application before specifying supply. This ensures compliance with regional safety and quality regulations. Contact us for supply of Nitrous oxide Request Quote
