Nitrous Oxide

Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a chemical compound comprised of two parts nitrogen and one part oxygen. At room temperature, nitrous oxide is a colorless gas with a slightly sweet aroma and taste. At higher temperatures, nitrous oxide acts as an oxidizer with other substances.

Nitrous Oxide Uses and Applications

Nitrous oxide gas has numerous industrial applications:

  • Medical/dental: Combining nitrous oxide with oxygen creates the anesthesia commonly referred to as “laughing gas,” which is used in medical and dental procedures. Administering the gas enables the patient to relax and experience a mildly euphoric feeling while typically remaining conscious.
  • Food propellant: Food manufacturers use pressurized N20 gas as an aerosol propellant to expel the product from its packaging. An example is a whipped cream canister, where the user presses the stem when applying the cream.
  • Auto racing: Drag racers use nitrous oxide to enhance vehicle power and performance. It enables the engine to burn more oxygen and increase fuel injection during combustion. While some states forbid the use of nitrous oxide systems on public roads, others allow it if the operator hasn’t installed a nitrous tank hookup.
  • Aerospace: The aerospace industry uses N2O as an oxidizer when manufacturing rocket motors. The gas is less toxic than other oxidizers and maintains its stability at room temperature. It can also act as a propellant in liquid-fueled and monopropellant rockets.
  • Semiconductor manufacturing: Nitrous oxide helps to produce metal oxide transistors. Using it to replace outdated silicon-based technology results in faster refresh rates for screens, enhanced color reproduction and higher-definition images.

Nitrous Oxide Safety

Nitrous oxide gas is safe to use in a controlled environment, such as a medical or dental office. However, taking higher than normal doses can have severe side effects, including dizziness, nausea and vomiting, headaches and even loss of consciousness. Prolonged exposure in an industrial or manufacturing setting can also cause these symptoms.
