Popular gases for dental laboratories

Learn more about the different gases commonly used in the dental laboratory industry.

C₃H₈

Propane

Utilized as a fuel for melting metals, casting dental restorations, and heating applications in the lab. It is often used with oxygen to achieve the necessary temperatures for these processes.

O₂

Oxygen

Used in combination with fuels like propane or acetylene for high-temperature applications, such as casting, soldering, and welding metals for dental prosthetics.

C₂H₂

Acetylene

Employed in oxy-acetylene torches for precise and high-temperature soldering and welding tasks needed to fabricate dental appliances.

N₂

Nitrogen

Used in some sintering processes for ceramic materials to create dental crowns and bridges. Nitrogen is also used for creating an inert atmosphere to prevent oxidation during certain manufacturing processes.

Ar

Argon

Utilized as a shielding gas in welding applications to protect the weld area from atmospheric contamination, ensuring high-quality joints for dental appliances.

H₂

Hydrogen

Employed in some specific high-temperature processes and in combination with other gases for reducing atmospheres during metal processing.

CO₂

Carbon Dioxide

Used in some laser-based dental equipment for cutting and etching applications. CO2 lasers are used for precision work in dental materials.

He

Helium

Occasionally used in specialized equipment and processes, such as helium-neon lasers for fine etching and welding tasks in dental prosthetic fabrication.

C₂H₄O

Ethylene Oxide

Utilized for sterilizing dental instruments and equipment that cannot withstand high-temperature steam sterilization, ensuring they are free from pathogens.

Dental laboratory FAQs

Learn more about the dental laboratory gases and services we offer.

What are the most popular gases used in dental laboratories?

Dental laboratories commonly use nitrogen for preserving materials and compressed air for cleaning and operating tools.

Can I track my gas levels?

Yes. We offer real-time monitoring for most of our gas applications to make sure you never run out. Our solution provides you (and us) with accurate updates on your levels so we can optimize your gas delivery, detect leaks and other issues – saving you money while supporting our sustainability commitments.

Do you offer same-day delivery for gases used by dental laboratories?

Yes. We make true same-day deliveries with no qualifications. If you call at 4:55 pm and you need a same-day delivery, we will deliver that day.

Is it possible to order gases for my dental laboratory in bulk?

We offer cost-effective bulk gas solutions inluding bulk nitrogen and compressed air for dental labs. Your products will be safely delivered by our modern fleet of fuel-efficient trucks, equipped for cylinder and bulk gas delivery.

Can I track my gas cylinders balance?

Yes. WestAir barcodes each cylinder and will scan each cylinder when it enters and leaves your location. This eliminates the need for you to perform time-consuming and error-prone inventory tracking. This process also guarantees accurate monthly billing statements.

Do you offer 24/7 emergency service if I run out of nitrogen or compressed air?

Yes. Our dedicated account management and 24/7 emergency service is there to make a bad day better.
