Trade N Go Gas™ Argon

Trade N Go Gas™ Argon — Convenient, Portable Argon for TIG/MIG & Purging

Trade N Go Gas™ Argon delivers inert, non-flammable argon in portable cylinders, ideal for TIG/MIG welding, back-purging, and general inerting without the complexity of ongoing rental. Designed for occasional users, mobile fabricators and maintenance teams, it provides the shielding you need with simple swap/exchange convenience across New Zealand.

Typical Uses

• TIG (GTAW) welding: stainless, aluminium and copper alloys where clean, stable arcs and excellent puddle visibility are critical.
  

• MIG (GMAW) welding: base argon for aluminium programs and stainless processes (often as the main component in blends).
  

• Back-purging & inerting: protect weld roots in pipework and vessels; displace air in small enclosures and gloveboxes.
  

• Maintenance & small fabrication jobs: quick, portable shielding gas for on-site repairs and short runs.
  

For ultra-critical applications with tight impurity limits (O₂, H₂O, THC), select a specified high-purity grade.

Why Choose Trade N Go Gas™

• No long-term rental — a practical, pay-as-you-go swap/exchange model for low or irregular usage.
  

• Portable, workshop-friendly cylinders — easy handling for mobile jobs and tight spaces.
  

• Fast change-outs — swap your empty for a full cylinder and get back to work quickly.
  

• Backed by Coregas NZ — national supply, reliable cylinders and straightforward returns.
  
  

Product Highlights

• Inert, non-reactive shielding to minimise oxidation and nitridation during welding.
  

• Clean arc initiation & stability for improved bead appearance and less rework.
  

• Versatile — use neat for TIG and aluminium MIG, or as the base gas in common welding blends.
  
  

Safety & Handling Essentials (Summary)

• Primary hazards: compressed gas and oxygen displacement (asphyxiation risk) in poorly ventilated areas.
  

• Storage: keep cylinders upright and restrained, in a dry, well-ventilated area, below 65 °C, out of direct sun and away from traffic/exits.
  

• Handling: do not drag, drop or roll; use a rated cylinder trolley; keep valve protection in place when not connected.
  

• PPE (typical): safety glasses, leather gloves, safety boots for normal handling; add respiratory protection if ventilation is inadequate.
  

• Fire: not combustible; if exposed to heat, cool cylinders from a protected location.
  

• Leaks: move (if safe) to a well-ventilated remote area; do not attempt to repair valves or safety devices yourself.
  

Transport & Site Logistics (Overview)

• UN 1006 — ARGON, COMPRESSED | Class 2.2 (Non-flammable, non-toxic gas).
  

• Transport cylinders secured and upright in a ventilated compartment; keep valves closed and capped.
  

• Brief drivers/contractors on gas hazards and emergency actions; isolate from loose gear and ignition sources.
  

• On site, position cylinders away from doorways and traffic and ensure easy access for swaps.
  

Application Notes for Welders & Fabricators

• Flow rates: set just high enough to maintain a stable shielding envelope; excessive flow causes turbulence and air entrainment.
  

• Torch angle & stick-out: keep consistent to prevent drawing air into the arc zone.
  

• Joint prep: remove oxides, oil and moisture to fully benefit from inert shielding.
  

Back-purging stainless/titanium: use purge dams or tapes; allow adequate dwell before arc start to protect the root.
