Products

BOC primarily supplies compressed and bulk gases. We develop safe, sustainable and innovative solutions for customers in many specialty sectors, especially Additive Manufacuting (AM). 

Inert gases, typically argon, are central to the function of metal AM, as well as peripheral AM processes including pre and post-production activities, and are the media most often used for quenching during the vacuum heat-treating process.

Testimonial

“BOC has been our preferred argon supplier for the last year and half and their level of service from confirmation of order to delivery is excellent. We’re a metal 3D printing bureau and are leading the way in additive manufacturing in the Southern Hemisphere; we use the argon for our 7 metal 3D printing machines. Argon is a gas which helps create an inert environment suitable for 3D printing. We need regular orders of argon to keep our machines going and have been impressed with the service that BOC provide us.”
