OXARC supports manufacturing operations across the Pacific Northwest (PNW) with expert gas supply, fast delivery and cost-saving solutions through our locations in Washington, Oregon and Idaho.
We’ve been part of the PNW industry and manufacturing landscape since 1968, and our more than 20 locations provide localized, experienced support. Our high-capacity filling facilities support your ongoing operations. As part of the Meritus Gas Partners network, we can offer the resources of a national brand while still bringing you the personalized, local service we’re known for.
As a leading industrial gas supplier in the PNW, OXARC delivers:
Nitrogen supports many industrial applications, including nylon production, electronics manufacturing, food packaging, explosives production and fertilizer manufacturing. We offer a range of nitrogen grades to meet your specific needs.
This gas is essential for metal fabrication, medical procedures and laboratory analysis. Oxygen supports chemical reactions and enhances combustion efficiency.
CO2 is a refrigerant and is often used in fire suppression systems.
Arc welding applications, metal fabrication and electronics manufacturing rely on argon and argon mixtures.
With high thermal conductivity and chemical inertness, helium supports the manufacturing of fiber optics and chips, aerospace applications, welding and leak detection in pipelines and HVAC systems.
As a raw material, hydrogen is essential for ammonia synthesis, petroleum refining and methanol production. Heavy industries also use it as an intense, clean-burning fuel for applications such as cement and steel manufacturing.
Our quality nitrous oxide can support food production, electronics manufacturing and industrial applications.
This is just a sample of our offerings. We can also create custom formulations for your specific applications.
OXARC customizes gas mixtures for R&D, specialty manufacturing and high-performance welding across the PNW. Our solutions include:
Carbon dioxide and argon are commonly used in welding and metal fabrication. We offer various blends of these gases for everything from pulse spray transfer to short-circuiting applications and carbon steel welding.
The high temperatures available with these blends support oxy-fuel welding and cutting applications.
For the manufacturing, heat-treating applications and production of semiconductors, nitrogen and hydrogen mixtures offer precise control over your chemical environment.
While commonly used in deep-sea diving, these blends are also used in modeling for technology development.
Food manufacturers turn to us for blends such as nitrogen and carbon dioxide to preserve packaged foods.
Our argon/carbon dioxide, argon/oxygen/carbon dioxide, argon/nitrogen/carbon dioxide, argon/helium and argon/helium/carbon dioxide blends support clean, quality welds across applications.
We develop mixtures of carbon dioxide, nitrogen and helium to help prevent thermal distortion and slag buildup while protecting the laser lens.
Used in chemical synthesis, coatings and adhesives, volatile organic compound (VOC) mixtures are used as solvents and raw materials in industry.
If you’re looking for specific industrial gas mixtures in Oregon, Idaho and Washington, we can also customize gas blends to your exact specifications.
Many manufacturers and industrial clients turn to us for our Star Blend premium argon-based welding gas mixtures. Designed to deliver cleaner welds, enhanced arc performance and better productivity, Star Blends are engineered to address the biggest welding challenges industries face.
Stargon mixtures are shielding gases for MIG and MAG welding of carbon steel and stainless steel. Helistar blends work well for copper and aluminum, thanks to increased heat input. Hydrostar mixtures support TIG welding of stainless steel and nickel alloys.
Choose from purchase, lease or rental options for 4,500 psi cylinders. High-capacity fills and Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) help keep your supply uninterrupted.
For ongoing needs, we offer microbulk and bulk delivery solutions to provide a steady supply. We can even design, install and maintain piping systems to efficiently deliver the mission-critical industrial gases your production relies upon.
