OXARC Specialty Gases

Specialty Gases in the PNW

OXARC is your dependable partner for specialty gases in Washington, Oregon and Idaho. We deliver custom blends and pure gases in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) with exceptional customer support. Our goal is to help support your compliance and protect your uptime. 

Specialty Gas Solutions for Every Application

As a trusted specialty gas supplier in the PNW, OXARC can deliver the specialty gases you need for different applications:

For your critical industrial, analytical and medical applications, we offer purity levels up to 99.999%.

We deliver gases that meet strict United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) guidelines. Our EPA protocol gases are delivered across Washington, Idaho and Oregon and used for environmental monitoring and calibrating monitoring equipment.

Our carefully calibrated VOC blends help you detect, measure and control VOCs in the environment or in your industrial processes.

We’re a trusted calibration gas supplier in Oregon, Washington and Idaho, delivering span and zero gases for manufacturing, gas detection and industrial safety applications.

Support strict traceability and safety compliance with OXARC’s reliable quality and comprehensive documentation. Our specialty gases help extend shelf life, protect food quality and add carbonation and foam to drinks.

Dentists, hospitals and other providers across the PNW turn to us for specialty gases for medical research and patient care.

Where purity matters for your application, our hydrocarbon gases offer the quality you need as fuel sources or for chemical synthesis processes.

Welding, metal fabrication and heavy industry rely on our specialty mixtures for clean welds and minimal distortion. Industrial and manufacturing clients especially appreciate our proprietary Star Blend welding gas mixtures, which use an advanced Gas Mixing System to help you achieve higher productivity and better-quality welds across different materials.

When pre-made mixtures don’t meet your specifications, our experts can develop gas blends for your applications, including testing and R&D.

Whether you need cylinders, a microbulk or bulk delivery system, we can create a customized supply solution.

OXARC Quality Supports Your Operations

We built our Specialty Gas Center in Pasco, WA, specifically to meet the needs of organizations across the PNW. Our central location allows for reliable, fast delivery of specialty gases across the region. 

Our Specialty Gas Center allows us to separate industrial gas production and specialty gas production, with separate vaporizers, pumps and filling manifolds to minimize the risk of cross-contamination. We use a strict vacuum/bake-out and testing process for every cylinder to ensure 99.999% purity.

A roller process reduces stratification, and a special residual-pressure valve minimizes contamination when open. All bulk tanks are meticulously inspected before shipping. Each shipment and cylinder undergoes stringent purity and accuracy checks.

We can provide you with permanent batch records and individual, serial-number-linked records upon request. Every cylinder and valve is clearly labeled for your internal review and documentation process. 

In addition, our Specialty Gas Center has an analytical lab that uses advanced equipment, including a Microsensor Technology Inc (MTI) micro gas chromatograph, to analyze and test every gas mixture for quality and purity. Our stringent lab testing enables us to develop unique formulations that meet even your most exacting specifications.
