ALIGAL™ [ Return towards Gases ]

Since chemicals and food cannot be processed in the same way, we have created the ALIGAL line exclusively to match the special quality requirements of the food industry.

ALIGAL is an international line of food grade gases specially created for the processing and packaging of beverages and foodstuffs. These products come as single cylinders, bundles of 8 or 16 cylinders or in a liquid form.

ALIGAL is the right choice for modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) and for cryogenic processes like chilling or freezing. ALIGAL is also used as ingredient in beverages.

With ALIGAL, Air Liquide is the right partner of all your projects. We provide you with all the support, expertise, processing knowledge and industry best practice know-how you need, to find and implement the best solution to meet your operational and quality requirements. We own 1 800 patents, 1 000 innovative applications, and 120 in-house food specialists.
