Helium

Helium is an extremely versatile gas due to its favourable physical and chemical properties, such as low density, small atom radius, high thermal conductivity and low boiling point.

The wide variety of applications and its excellent safety and environment compatibility have made helium an essential product  As a leading  supplier of helium BOC is able to offer a wide variety of solutions in the helium market .  We can supply helium in a full range of purities and mixtures, in any quantity you require and as either a compressed, liquefied or bulk gas.
