Lasers provide an intense energy source which is ideally suited for a wide range of fabrication processes such as cutting, welding, drilling and marking metal and other material.

BOC fulfills laser gas requirements in such diverse applications as research, communications, medicine and industry. Our broad line of Lasershield gases includes high purity helium, nitrogen and carbon dioxide as well as mixtures for flow through carbon dioxide lasers and sealed cavity lasers.

Many industrial lasers use gases for generating the laser light. The right gas quality is essential to maintain high laser reliability and ensure process productivity. Supplied as pure or pre-mixed gases, BOC’s lasing gases are formulated to meet the specifications of the major laser manufacturers.

Process assist gases are used at the point where the laser interacts with the material. The choice and quality of the assist gas can have an important effect on the process quality and productivity.
