Innovative new packaging delivering improved efficiency, safety and convenienceWe are excited to introduce high-pressure filling to specialty gases. With pressures up to 300 bar, BOC’s innovative cylinders provide you with significantly increased efficiency while improving safety and convenience.
At a higher pressure, more gas volume is available for use – meaning less cylinder movements, less deliveries and fewer orders to manage. This may also reduce your storage requirements and cylinder changeover frequency.
BOC will notify you before making any changes to the pressure of your cylinders.

Material code changes are required to some existing specialty gas mixtures.Most mixtures have material codes re-created in the new system to support the transition, with some kept consistent. Some mixture categories, such as HiQ® LifeScience and HiQ® LifeScience Plus will have modified material codes.
For new mixtures, or for mixtures that have not been purchased recently, a new material code will be created upon request. The new system will generate the new code instantly.
Are you using EDI?If you are using EDI to order your materials, please ensure your system is updated to use the new material code. If you use EDI for a material that has not been ordered since 2015, please contact BOC if the material is still required.
The software will automatically link the new material code to the previous. There are no delays with your order. The new material code will be shown on your order confirmation and invoice.

Recent changes in AS 4484 require changes to the way some complex specialty gas mixture cylinders are painted. The Australian Standard has been simplified, reducing the maximum number of colours displayed on the cylinder from five to four.
Simple mixtures not intended for inhalation with less than five colours are not affected by this revision.
For example, a complex hydrocarbon mixture which currently has five colours painted on the cylinder will have a reduced band count.

The new system will generate a specific body label for every material, with material specific information, safety information and a barcode to easily scan-to-reorder using the BOC mobile app.All Specialty gas products will feature a generic shoulder label, unique to each dangerous goods category (UN number) to ensure compliance with safety and transport regulations.
The body label will also feature a QR code which can be scanned to view the specific SDS for that material online.
The body label will display a disposal group (8), which relates to the way in which the gas mixture must be destroyed to prevent environmental damage upon return to BOC and so can be disregarded.
