Nitrogen – Messer Canada

Nitrogen (N₂) High Purity Gas

Messer’s nitrogen gas solutions are essential across a wide range of industries, from food preservation to high-tech manufacturing. In food and beverage applications, nitrogen extends shelf life through modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) and nitrogenation in beverages. In industrial settings, nitrogen is used for blanketing, purging, and cryogenic cooling in electronics, pharmaceuticals, and metal processing. Available in multiple purity levels and supply formats, including bulk, liquid, and high-pressure cylinders, Messer ensures a consistent and high-quality nitrogen supply to meet industry demands.

Most Commonly Purchased Nitrogen Gases

Messer supplies gases in a range of purity levels and formats to meet industrial, research, and precision needs. With delivery options including cylinders, dewars, bulk storage, and on-site generation, we ensure consistent quality, performance, and efficiency.

Nitrogen Grade 5.0

Nitrogen Grade 5.0 is used as a carrier gas in gas chromatography.

Lasline Nitrogen

Laser technology continues to develop at lightning speed. This is true on the equipment side with the transitions from CO2 gas lasers to solid state laser technology as well as on the application side.

Gourmet Nitrogen

The Gourmet solution successfully inhibits the deterioration of foodstuffs in a natural way.

Nitrogen Industrial Grade, Compressed

Gaseous nitrogen at atmospheric pressure has no taste, colour or odour. It's a poor conductor of heat and electricity, and has low solubility in most common liquids.

Nitrogen Beverage Grade, Compressed

This product is part of Messer's Gourmet™ line of Modified Atmosphere Packing (MAP) gases that are used in the packaging of various types of food products to ensure product stability and prolonged shelf life.

Nitrogen NF Medical Grade, Compressed

Nitrogen NF is used as a power source for power tools used in surgical procedures. Is it also used as a displacement medium in pharmaceutical vials.
