Rising productivity and environmental pollution pressures are opening up new applications for lighter, more innovative plastic and rubber materials. In many curing, moulding, inerting and cleaning applications, Industrial gas and Cryogenic solutions provide an energy-efficient way for manufacturers to improve productivity and product quality while also enhancing performance towards environmental goal.
For example, in case of plastics foaming, industrial gas helps manufacturers phase -out hazardous and climate-warming propellants.
