What is the percentage of Argon and does this product have the highest percentage available? Also, why would other gases be used, except to cut costs?
1012832
I am not sure about the % argon. I imagine there may be nitrogen and carbon dioxide present as well. In any case, it works extremely well. We are still on our first container after six weeks. Wine lasts days, even after several openings. Just be sure to seal well after blowing in some inert gas.

The label on the can does not list a percentage. It states "... custom blend of pure nitrogen (N2), carbon dioxide (CO2), and argon (AR), the inert and HARMLESS gases in our atmosphere used to produce and bottle wine." I don't know the manufacturer's reason for the blend of gases. Your guess about cost might be true. There is a bottle of Argon sold for some process in furniture finishing that claims to be 99.9% pure. It used to be quite a bit more expensive than the wine preserver. When I was evaluating these a few years ago, there was also an Argon delivery system for preserving wine that used cartridges that claimed to be 99+% pure Argon but the costs on that were nearly a dollar per use. The Private Wine Preservations Spray works very well for me. I use it nearly every day and a bottle lasts me about 4 months so the 120 uses claim is reasonably accurate.

Hobart web site is the best to find good information. You can only use 100% argon gas. There are a number of tips that work. Clean material is a must. Have tools designated as aluminum only, hand wire brush and 4" grinder wire wheel. Also, practice on scrape. It is a really fast process, you have to weld faster than steel welding. You can push better than pulling the puddle. I as weird as it sounds you can well down hill easy. If you don't have Aluminum grinding wheels for your grinder. The aluminum fills up the wheel fast, but if you run candle wax on the wheel before it last a lot longer. You have to do it every few minutes. I hope this helps. Oh, keep a number of tips on hand.

Propane is expensive. Costs over $100 permonth for 45 degrees. Natural gas would be cheaper.

I don't know that the mixture (fuel/air) would be correct. Propane is cheaper... depending on where you are.

I have a gas range so I really can't answer your question. I suggest, however, that you contact T-fal and ask your question, Then, please publish their answer as I'm sure that other people want to know the same thing.

I would look for your local Airgas or homebrew store. My local homebrew store charges $3/lb.

I just checked the can's label carefully, but it does not state the percentage of silicon, although it does say "No CFC's", to comply with many state regulations. I'm sorry I cannot give you the percentage; perhaps the manufacturer will supply this information. I DO know that it works, leaving very little (if any) unwanted residue.

This gas is specifically for those stoves that require Butane/Propane mixed gas. It is a bit too expensive for general use, rather than pure propane which is much cheaper. IIRC the thread is proprietary to Butane/Propane stoves only. So the manufacturer is not the issue, the type of gas required is.

One is argon gas and the other is neon. There is no difference in performance or effectivness

Yes argon will work fine, I got the spool gun for my shop. Works very very well.

You'll need a spool gun and a gas tank w/ argon shielding gas (typically 100% argon). This welder comes with the gas tank adapter (hose and regulator).

I welded up a good bit of aluminum for an RV door fabrication project. Use straight Argon gas and aluminum wire. Run it hot and fast. Took some practice and online research for techniques, but I eventually got really nice welds with good penetration.

Sorry, I can't answer your question....I purchased this item solely to transfer gas from one container to another. It works great for this!

Not sure. Kerosene has more of an oil substance than gas. I bought it for DEF fluid because it is corrosive.

I have know idea what is in the spray I'm just a customer who also purchased the spray. It is for spraying in the air to make it as someone farted. Common sense tells anybody not to spray it in your mouth. What kind of question is this and why are you asking me what's in the stuff. Why would a customer who also bought it know this info. Try contacting the manufacturer for this ridiculous question. I don't think your very cognizant

Google it. Also you should consider the aluminum you are welding, much of it is a mixture of aluminum and another metal. Heating aluminum makes it easier to weld too. If you are welding aluminum you need to use 100% argon gas.
