Especially, on Ships and Oil Rigs EEBD Aluminium Cylinders are much more resistant to salty sea air than other Cylinders, thus the life span of Aluminium Cylinders used on ships or at near seaside is considerably longer. No repainting or other corrosion protection is needed; therefore, maintenance costs are lower than any other type Cylinders.

Our EEBD Aluminium Cylinders are made as per ISO 7866 standards with PI mark European Approval by Apragaz, Europe for International Market and PESO, Govt of India approved for Indian Market.

The Cylinder industry, as others, is rapidly transforming towards more sustainable options for the betterment of society.

At Alcan Cylinders, we are always committed to introduce innovative and future ready and resilient products.

Alcan is first company in Asia to introduce ultra lightweight Aluminium Cylinders made of 7060 Alloy.  This alloy is ideal for cylinders that require high strength, superior fatigue resistance, and the ability to handle high pressure and mechanical loads. For applications where these factors are critical, 7060 is the preferred choice.

Cylinders made from 7060 alloy offer significant advantages than any other material made Cylinders, as Cylinders made from it is very lightweight, inspite of having working pressure of 300 Bar or more, due to very higher working pressure 7060 alloy Cylinders contains more gas still it is easily portable and affordable.

In the industries like Medical & Safety (SCBA) where portability, longevity and sustainability are essential, 7060 alloy Cylinders are the Future.

Our Cylinders are manufactured as per ISO 7866 Standards with PI mark approval by Apragaz, Europe.

In India, Alcan has first ever developed indigenously manufactured Low Pressure Cylinders for Clean Agent Fire Extinguishers with BIS – ISI mark as per IS 15660: 2017 with PESO, Govt. of India approval.

Aluminium Clean Agent Fire Extinguishers are the future of Fire Fighting Industry, as it has Aluminium Cylinder Body so naturally Aluminium Based Extinguisher is non-corrosive and having long life than traditional Steel based Extinguishers.

A clean agent is fire extinguishing agent that is electrically non-conductive, volatile, or gaseous, and that does not leave a residue upon evaporation. Aluminium Clean Agent Fire Extinguishers are designed to suppress fires very quickly while minimizing damage to sensitive and high end equipments, making them ideal choice for environments like control rooms, data centres, laboratories, medical facilities where sensitive electronic equipments installed and quick restoration of normal operations is must.

Clean Agent Fire Extinguisher gets its name, “clean”, from the fact that it doesn’t leave a residue, but also because most clean agents are significantly more environment friendly than other options.

Here are few benefits of Aluminium Clean Agent Fire Extinguishers:

• Safety: Clean agents are non-toxic & Aluminium Body is non-corrosive. This means they’re safe to be used in environments where people are present.
• No Associated Damage: Since clean agent fire suppression systems don’t use water or powders, they don’t cause any damage. They’re safe to use in applications with sensitive technology, electronics, and high-value assets.
• No Cleanup: Clean agents don’t leave a residue. That means that after your system discharges, you don’t have to worry about extensive cleanup.
• Minimal Downtime: With no damage and no cleanup, it’s easy for you to get your business back on track.
• Fast Acting: Clean agent systems actuate in seconds. Since they extinguish fires effectively, most fire damage should be limited to a small area.

Aluminium Cylinders are well known all over the world for their resistance to corrosion in every environment, either in Dry, Humidity or low-humidity conditions. In the Hospital & Medical Industry this feature of Aluminium Cylinders plays a very vital role, because Aluminium Cylinders does not rust like steel does when expose to moisture and Oxygen or other Medical Gases. Aluminium Alloy which used to manufacture Aluminium Cylinders are carefully formulated to enhance Cylinder’s corrosion resistance while maintaining mechanical strength and other desired properties, these alloys are selected based on their ability to withstand all environmental conditions. Aluminum naturally forms a thin oxide layer on its surface when exposed to oxygen in the air which is known as passivation. This oxide layer acts as a protective barrier against further oxidation and corrosion. It significantly prevents deeper penetration of moisture and contaminants that could cause corrosion.

Medical Oxygen (O2): – Medical Oxygen is a very crucial lifesaving gas, so reliable & safe storage of medical oxygen is essential for maintaining patient care and safety in the hospitals and healthcare facilities. The Medical Oxygen can be stored in Aluminium Cylinders for long time with maintaining the integrity and purity of Oxygen Gas, as Aluminium Cylinders are corrosion free so it could not affect the accuracy and performance of stored Oxygen and keep it free from any contamination.  On the other hand, steel cylinders are more susceptible to corrosion and rusting, thus oxygen taken from steel cylinders might contain iron particles making them unsuitable for medical use.

• In Western & European countries most of the hospitals and healthcare facilities are using Aluminium Cylinders for storage & supply of Oxygen Gas for the better safety and care of the patients.

• The University of Rhode Island’s study of cylinder internal corrosion reveals that:
  Under equal conditions of moisture in cylinders, aluminium cylinders are much better, so oxygen stored in aluminium cylinders may retain its quality longer.

Medical Carbon Dioxide (CO2): – Aluminium Cylinders are ideal to store Medical Carbon Dioxide, because when Carbon Dioxide comes in contact with moisture or water component accidently or while storing, it forms Carbonic acid, this carbonic acid corrode a steel cylinder that contaminate the carbon dioxide gas which used for medical applications. While on the other hand, Aluminium Cylinders are not affected by carbonic acid, and no corrosion will occur in Aluminium Cylinders.

• According to the ASM (American Society for Metals) Metals Handbook (1, 2, 3), aluminium and brass are not attacked by carbonic acid, but steel will corrode.

• The American Compressed Gas Association in, Pamphlets G-6 and G-6.3 (4,5), warns that wet carbon dioxide will cause severe corrosion in steel cylinders.

Medical Nitrous Oxide (N2O): – Medical Nitrous Oxide used widely for Anesthesia during Surgical Procedures, Dental Procedures & for Pain Management. It helps provide sedation, analgesia (pain relief), and relaxation to patients. So, storage of Nitrous Oxide is important as if due to any contamination the primary components of N2O gas are derogated then the gas integrity will loosen, which adversely affects patients. Aluminium Cylinders are the correct storing option for storage of N2O as these Cylinders are free from corrosion and any type of possible contamination. Rather, Steel Cylinders are prone to corrosion which may react with the properties of N2O Gas and can contaminate it while stored for long time.

• The important point is N2O Gas Cylinders are mainly use with the specialized machines and equipments like Anesthesia Machine, if the installed Cylinder is corroded then it also could adversely affect the machine functionality & life span, so nowadays many anesthesiologists prefer Aluminium Cylinders to use with Anesthesia machines.

Likewise, Aluminium Cylinders are an ideal choice for all other medical gases i.e. Nitrogen, Argon, Entonox etc.
