NITROGEN GAS
N2 GAS PROPERTIES
INTRODUCTION
Nitrogen is an odorless, colorless, non-toxic, and non-flammable gas, at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. 78% of our atmosphere is made up of it. N2 is used as an inert gas in Blanketing Systems, Electrical Systems, the Chemical Industry, and the Food Packaging Industry.
PRECAUTIONS
Even though N2 is non-toxic, it can still act as an asphyxiant and special precautions should be taken in confined areas. Always keep areas well ventilated.
