NC+ Cutting Gas

National Gas has developed a revolutionary new alternative cutting technology that will change the way metal is cut. Traditionally, cutting of metal sheets has always been done using the oxy-Acetylene mixture. Acetylene is expensive, highly unsafe and damaging to the environment. The NC+ Cutting Gas is a hydrocarbon-based cutting solution that offers unmatched economy on overall cutting cost as compared to acetylene.

NC+ is operator –friendly and safer than acetylene. It is also non-toxic and has low backfire tendency. In case of a leak, NC+ can be easily detected due to its unique pungent smell.

The Incredible Cutting Gas

NC+ is a unique hydrocarbon industrial gas mixed with an innovative additive that enhances flame temperature and produces fine cut finish at a very low cost compared to DA.

NC+ is one of the cleanest burning, easiest to use, best performing and safest fuels available. With most products, you have to pay extra to get the best, but with NC+ you get this high level of quality and still save money. It is stable in both liquid and gas states, economical, produces little slag, and has a very high heat value.

NC+ does not have the withdrawal pressure limitations that are necessary with acetylene. It is very stable unlike acetylene and has will produce less flashback and cannot auto-ignite.

NC+ Features

HIGH HEAT VALUE

It has a very high heat value. This heat value is due to the fact that the molecules in NC+ are united in a bigger bond then acetylene. Breaking down this double bond produces more heat.

Higher total heal value makes NC+ a versatile gas. The versatility of NC+ means that you only need to buy one fuel for many jobs. NC+ can be used for hand cutting, machine cutting, flame hardening, metalizing, brazing, soldering, pre-heating and stress relieving.

CLEAN CUT

NC+ is one of the cleanest burning, easiest to use, best performing and safest fuels available. With most products you have to pay extra to get the best, but with NC+ you get this high level of quality and still save money. It is stable in both liquid and gas states, economical, produces little slag, and has a very high heat value.

NC+ is the ideal cutting fuel for both thin and thick material due to high heat value in both primary and secondary flame.

NATIONAL GAS ADVANTAGE

WE LAUNCHED

NC+ IN THE SULTANATE

REVOLUTIONARY METAL CUTTING GAS WITH INNOVATIVE ADDITIVE THAT ENHANCES FLAME TEMPERATURE

◎ NC+ is already the preferable choice of industries likes Steel, Engineering, Mining, Shipping Yards and oilfield services in many countries.
◎ 10 times safer than Acetylene because of 10 times lower explosive limits than Acetylene.
◎ National Gas has developed cutting gas accessories which is more economical and longer lasting. Apart from this, cutting equipment manufacturers internationally have developed accessories suitable for NC+.
◎ With our experience and trained personnel we would like to assure our effective, efficient and reliable services always.

SAFETY & PERFORMANCE

10 times safer than Acetylene because of 10 times lower explosive limits than Acetylene. Low cylinder gas pressure (6-7 kg/cm2). Low backfire tendency. Stable gas. Low slag formation. NC+ can easily cut 12 inch (300 mm)thick metal and even more. NC+ cylinders are easier to handle due to lighter weight.

COST BENEFIT

Up to 30% cost saving in overall oxy fuel cutting cost. Superior cut finish, narrow kerf formation. Low Oxygen consumption. Reduced cylinder inventory by 5-6times. Reduced logistic cost due to 1cylinder of NC+ replacing 5 cylinders of DA. High penetration. Smooth cutting surface and reduction in slag formation.

INTERNATIONAL PRESENCE

NC+ has presence in Oman, UAE, Qatar,KSA and Malaysia and National Gas is aiming to develop NC+ markets in other Middle East and South East Asian countries. National Gas offers a reliable energy solution for users coupling assured local capabilities with proven global expertise.
