CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2)

General: 

Carbon Dioxide is non-flammable, colorless, odorless and slightly acidic. With its inert quality, Carbon Dioxide is suitable for prevention and suppression of combustion and oxidization. It is a dominant refrigerant or cooling agent in the industry. Solid Carbon Dioxide is used in the food industry for chilling and freezing. Carbon Dioxide is also extensively used in firefighting applications.
