Air Products sees research and development as essential for meeting our customers' expectations for new products and processes.

This level of commitment has been the reason why we have pioneered technology as diverse as liquid hydrogen for the space programme and a novel method of freezing, using liquid nitrogen, which enables ice-lollies to be made in complex shapes.

To develop the best solutions our scientists and engineers must apply their innovative skills across the spectrum of activities—from gas production through distribution to the application of the gas in the customers' process.

The diversity of markets and the breadth of technical scope provide a fascinating challenge to each of our researchers. Close customer involvement provides direct feedback for a job well done.
