You can, but you won't drink it :P
Yeah just checked out you can use it as a food preservative and they use it to kill chickens!!
Got me, I'll be killing chickens with it. You mean they use it in gas chambers or use it kill'em with the pressure somehow? :-\ :)
In wine making, argon is used to top-off barrels to avoid the aerial oxidation of ethanol to acetic acid during the aging process.
And made by distillation, interesting.
Murderer! ??? ??? ;D

Argon is an asphyxiant in the poultry industry, either for mass culling following disease outbreaks, or as a means of slaughter more humane than the electric bath. Argon's relatively high density causes it to remain close to the ground during gassing. Its non-reactive nature makes it suitable in a food product, and since it replaces oxygen within the dead bird, argon also enhances shelf life.
Well I didn't know that
;D ;D ;D humanely he says
STOP MAKING JOKES LADS I NEED ARGON
What a waste of gas I just wring their necks and if done properly its quick and cheap, don't ask me to do 5000 tho ???

Will_D has some. I'm sure he'll be along any minute!
Nope he's in the club till 7!

You are in the wrong place for that, humour us even tho none of us are funny, it will be less painful for everyone.
These guys do Argon

I was thinking there might be some welders among us that would point me at some cheaper sources, thanks a ton for help.
I've found argon at hobbyweld.co.uk at similar prices, but still find it pricey. It's similar as with nitro from boc - they don't want to deal with the public but if they eventually do - they will empty your pockets :)
Hope fully Will will come to the rescue :P

My welding Argon comes from BOC:
The X size bottle (like a mixed gas bottle - not the huge 5 foot tall jobs) filled to 230 bar ???:
Annual rental of bottle €65-70, refill (or initial gas fill) €41-70 plus VAT at 14.81%. Prices coorect as from 1/1/14 (minor price hike).
Hobby weld do the similar same size bottles but are filled to less than half the pressure (110 Bar)
Halfords and the like do a disposable bottle (like our 110 litre oxy GBs) but they are like €20.
If you need to BORROW some argon PM me!
BTW: CO2 is also a heavy asphixiant gas (all gases other than Air/Oxygen are asphixiants) so why use Argon to kill the chickies?
We used to store spacecraft (Metop 2 and 3) in a nitrogen tent in Friedrichhaven!
The warning signs were every where. Within about 10 metres of the tent you had to wear an oxygen monitor!
Mr Happy has some beer that should finish them off and they would be nicely marinated as well?
Too low? Sorry Mr H just looking for recycling ideas.
Nitrogen is also an asphyxiant and like argon should only be used in a well ventilated area. Don't mess about with these gases or take risks.

Thanks Will, thats nice of them at hobbyweld less than half of gas, b*****s.
I think I have to go with boc, not much of the choice.
