In In the chemical and pharmaceutical industry SOL has focused in particular on the following:

NITROGEN PURGING AND BLANKETING:
nitrogen is commonly used to purge stocks and plants containing dangerous or flammable goods, exploiting the chemical inertia of the gas. In this way, the safety levels of the plants are increased, to the advantage of the workplace. Nitrogen is also used to prevent the degradation of oxidizable products that in contact with air may have a reaction to the oxygen it contains, with consequent product losses, lower qualitative standards and cost increases.

CRYOGENIC THERMAL REGULATION:
many types of working processes require the localised use of thermal regulation: in a small space or in a short time it is necessary to achieve high thermal gradients. In other cases thermal regulation is seasonal and it would therefore not be advisable to devote large capitals to install mechanical frigorie plants. In these cases the solution to the problem is the correct use of the frigories contained in liquid nitrogen.

GRINDING AND DEBURRING OF RUBBER:
rubber has optimum elastic properties, which are exploited in the production of articles such as gaskets, elastic items, soles, tubes, pipe-fittings etc. but which create problems in working the product any time it is necessary to eliminate certain parts or to grind parts small to separate them from waste. The frigories contained in liquid nitrogen make the structure of the rubber more rigid and cause the loss of its elastic properties, after which it is easy to perform all the operations in which the elasticity of rubber creates difficulties.
