Exporting a 40ft Container of High-Purity Argon Gas to Africa in September 2025



Background & Customer Needs

 

The client, a large-scale metal fabrication and welding enterprise in Africa, faced rising demand for argon due to expanding production lines. Argon is an essential shielding gas in welding and cutting processes, ensuring higher precision and preventing oxidation. The customer required bulk, high-purity argon with stable delivery to avoid costly downtime.

 

Challenges

 

Previously, the customer had experienced unstable supply and inconsistent purity levels from local distributors. Limited logistics support also caused shipment delays, which affected their production schedules. They needed a partner capable of providing both reliable purity standards and on-time delivery over long distances.

 

YIGAS Solution

 

To meet these requirements, YIGAS arranged the export of a 40ft container of high-purity argon gas with strict quality control and safety procedures:

Product Quality

Argon purity ≥ 99.999%, with rigorous testing before shipment.

Packaging & Safety

Cylinders were equipped with protective valve caps, palletized, and secured with anti-corrosion materials for sea transport.

Logistics Planning

Collaborating with international shipping lines, YIGAS ensured the container departed from China and arrived at the designated African port within the client’s required timeframe.

Custom Support

Documentation, customs clearance, and on-site technical consultation were provided to streamline the import process for the client.
