MISON 8C Shielding Gas

MISON 8C Shielding Gas

Due to Mison 8C's ability to improve deposition rates, better "wetting" and reduced spatter, it is the mixture most recommended for
high speed and Robotic applications.

Mison 8C shielding gas is used as a replacement for similar CO2 containing welding mixtures. It is used in MIG
welding applications for mild and low alloys steels. Mison 8C is superior due to its Ozone reducing properties,
providing for a more stable arc, and higher welding efficiency.

Mison attacks when and where ozone is formed.

The nitric oxide content of mison gases reacts with
the ozone formed by the UV radiation emitted by
the arc to form oxygen and nitrogen dioxide. The
result is a signicantly lower content of ozone
pollutants in the welders immediate area.

Relative Ozone Generation

Mison reduces ozone formation in most types of

welding.

Approvals

MISON shielding gases contain small concentrations of nitric oxide which reacts with ozone generated around the
weld, reducing it at its source. Production usage has realized several other benefits.
Initial arc transmission is a critical factor in elimination of spatter and weld faults during arc start. MISON gases
perform extremely well in arc starts.
A major cost in welding. Spatter means wasted wire and costly cleanup. Switching to MISON gases has
significantly reduced spatter in actual production.
Contact your local Linde facility for an on-site demonstration. Once youve seen it, youll believe in the MISON
line of shielding gases.
CWB approval for Mison 8C for solid wire and metal core products. Ask for an in shop demonstration.
Eliminate gas variability in weld quality.
