Azote (nitrogen) makes up 78% of the Earth’s atmosphere and is a component of all living tissues.

• Chemical formula: N₂
• Purity: ≥99.9%
• It is colorless, odorless, tasteless, chemically inert under ordinary conditions, non-toxic and non-flammable

Liquid nitrogen is used:

• for freezing and transporting certain more delicate foods
• to store biological materials such as tissues, cells, etc.
• in dermatology for the removal of diseased tissues
• in the study of cryogenics
• In scientific research

Nitrogen gas is used:

• in the food industry for modified atmosphere packaging, in combination with carbon dioxide
• in the production and processing of metals
• as a protective atmosphere for many industrial processes
• in the production of electronic components such as transistors, diodes and integrated circuits
• for filling the wheel chambers of airplanes and cars
• for the manufacture of ammonia
• at Fire extinguishing systems – Fire suppression is achieved by reducing the oxygen concentration
• in the chemical industry, for the production of fertilizers, nitric acid, nylon, dyes and explosives.
