Oxygen (O2)
Mainly used for the glass melting and generally for all oxy-combustion process
Air
Used dry and compressed for forming and mechanical manufacturing of the glass as well as for maintenance.
Argon (Ar)
Supplied to fill light bulbs and double glazing enclosures.
Nitrogen (N2)
Supplied as an inert gas especialy to create, in combination with hydrogen, a reductive atmosphere over the tin bath in the FLOAT process.
Acetylene (C2H2)
Combustible gas used mainly in automatic lubrification for glass bottles.
Helium (He)
Mainly used as an inert or thermal packaging gas in the manufacturing of glass optic fibers.
Krypton (Kr)
Used for the filling of special light bulbs and double glazing enclosures for high performance thermal and acoustic isolation.
Xenon (Xe)
Used for the filling of special light bulbs.
Hydrogen (H2)
Active gas used in combination with nitrogen to create a reductive atmosphere over the tin bath in the FLOAT process, as well as heat treatment (oxy-hydrogen flame) of the hollow glass and the optic fibers pre-forms.
Silane (SiH4)
Active gas for layers coating on flat or hollow glass.
