About Nippon Sanso Deutschland
Nippon Sanso Deutschland is part of Nippon Sanso Holdings Corporation, one of the world's leading providers of industrial and medical gases with over 100 years of experience in the industrial gas sector. The company supplies technical gases such as argon, nitrogen, oxygen, helium, hydrogen, carbon dioxide and acetylene, as well as dry ice and customer-specific gas mixtures such as Sanarc®, Lasersan® and SanCut®. The gases are supplied in cylinders, bundles, Dewar vessels, via MicroBulk® systems or tanks. In addition to gas supply, Nippon Sanso develops and delivers gas supply systems, gas mixers for on-site mixture production, pressure regulating stations as well as special solutions for additive manufacturing (3DPro® product portfolio) and Oxy-Fuel technologies for industrial furnaces. The company serves industries such as metal and material processing, food and beverages, chemicals, electronics, pharmaceuticals and biotechnology, healthcare, oil and gas, glass, automotive, agriculture as well as additive manufacturing. In Europe, Nippon Sanso is active in 14 countries and serves more than 150,000 customers and 622,000 patients.

Gases and Processes
Argon
Inert gas with high density for shielding the melt pool in PBF 3D printing and as a basis for welding shielding gases.
Nitrogen
Inert gas for blanketing, purging, laser cutting, PBF printing of austenitic steels and pharmaceutical applications with 99,9999 % purity.
Helium
For EBM 3D printing, PBF and DED processes as well as a cooling and resonator gas in laser systems.
Hydrogen
Deoxidizing and energy-contributing in reducing welding gas mixtures for TIG and MIG/MAG processes.
Oxygen
Combustion and oxidation gas for flame cutting, laser cutting of unalloyed steel and oxy-fuel combustion in industrial furnaces.
Carbon dioxide
Active gas in welding, acid gas and medium for pharmaceutical, food technology and dry ice applications.
Acetylene
Fuel gas with high flame temperature for flame cutting, brazing and oxy-fuel technology.
Sanarc® H3 (Ar 99,9990 % / 3 % H2)
Specific gas mixture for binder jetting and FDM processes with subsequent sintering operation, especially for copper alloys.
Lasersan® Gas Mixtures
High-purity gases and mixtures for laser cutting and laser welding processes on carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminium and titanium.
SanCut®
Gas mixtures with acetylene for flame cutting and brazing of metals using oxy-fuel technology.
Forming Gas 5-10 (N2/H2)
Root shielding gas for preventing oxidation and scale on the weld root, especially for duplex and super duplex steels.
Dry Ice
For cold transport of temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical products and dry ice blasting.
