Oxygen

Mainly used for the glass melting and generally for all oxy-combustion process.

 

Air

Used dry and compressed for forming and mechanical manufacturing of the glass as well as for maintenance.

 

Argon

Supplied to fill light bulbs and double glazing enclosures. 

Nitrogen

Supplied as an inert gas especialy to create, in combination with hydrogen, a reductive atmosphere over the tin bath in the FLOAT process.

Acetylene

Combustible gas used mainly in automatic lubrification for glass bottles.

Helium

Mainly used as an inert or thermal packaging gas in the manufacturing of glass optic fibers.

 

Krypton

Used for the filling of special light bulbs and double glazing enclosures for high performance thermal and acoustic isolation.

 

Xenon

Used for the filling of special light bulbs.

Hydrogen

Active gas used in combination with nitrogen to create a reductive atmosphere over the tin bath in the FLOAT process, as well as heat treatment (oxy-hydrogen flame) of the hollow glass and the optic fibers pre-forms.

 

Silane

Active gas for layers coating on flat or hollow glass.
