1.5 kg carbon dioxide CO₂ - Food Grade - 2 l - aluminum
A Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) 1.5 kg cylinder is a compact, lightweight gas cylinder with a water capacity of approximately 2 liters (good for 1.5 kg of liquid CO₂). The cylinder is made of high-quality aluminum, ensuring a low tare weight and excellent corrosion resistance. Food-grade carbon dioxide CO₂, often referred to by the E-code E290, meets strict purity requirements and is specifically intended for applications in the food and beverage industry.
Key Features & Specifications:
- Purity: Meets strict standards (usually > 99.9 % pure) to prevent harmful odors, tastes, or contaminants from entering the product.
- Applications:
- Dispensing and carbonating beer, soft drinks, and cider.
- Producing sparkling water (among other things for the hospitality industry and home systems such as the Lindr water dispenser or water coolers available in our assortment).
- Packaging under a protective atmosphere (MAP packaging to extend the shelf life of food products).
- Industrial and agricultural applications such as water pH regulation or greenhouse horticulture.

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) gas cylinder, filled with 1.5 kg of CO₂, specifically developed for food-grade applications (built for long-term and professional use).
Transport
Transport
- Vertical securing: This also applies to this small B02 cylinder: secure it vertically. A liquid CO₂ cylinder that rolls onto its side during transport can immediately send liquid into the valve when opened.
- Ventilation: Ensure sufficient fresh air, even in a passenger car, especially in a small, enclosed space.
Information
Safety
Important safety information for CO₂
When working with CO₂, specific rules apply that differ from those for helium:
- Asphyxiation and toxicity: CO₂ is heavier than air and accumulates at ground level. It is not only asphyxiating but, in higher concentrations, also toxic (risk of poisoning). Ensure good ventilation and, preferably, CO₂ detection in small spaces.
- Risk of frostbite: When CO₂ escapes, the liquid expands into a gas and "dry ice" (solid CO₂) can form. The temperature of the valve and regulator can drop to -78°C. In the event of a leak, never touch the metal parts directly to avoid severe frostbite.
- Vertical use: Always use and transport the cylinder upright. If the cylinder is lying down, liquid CO₂ can enter the pressure regulator, which will immediately freeze the regulator and render it unusable, or even cause it to burst.
- Pressure regulator: Use a specific CO₂ pressure regulator. Because CO₂ is stored in liquid form in the cylinder, the pressure on the gauge remains constant until the liquid is almost depleted. This is in contrast to helium, where the pressure drops gradually.
- Vertical securing: This also applies to this small B02 cylinder: secure it vertically. A liquid CO₂ cylinder that rolls onto its side during transport can immediately send liquid into the valve when opened.
- Ventilation: Ensure sufficient fresh air, even in a passenger car, especially in a small, enclosed space.
