Luxfer’s Odyssey™ line of full-wrap composite cylinders manufactured with proprietary L6X ® aluminum alloy liners
 Luxfer’s Odyssey product line features full-wrapped cylinders manufactured with inner liners made from our proprietary L6X® aluminum alloy and strengthened with a carbon-fiber wrap that completely surrounds the liner.
Introduced in 1994, Luxfer carbon composite full-wrap cylinders were a major advance in gas-containment technology. The lightest-weight breathing gas cylinders in the world, these extremely durable cylinders quickly gained favour with firefighters who use them in self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Odyssey full-wrap cylinders are now widely used by paramedics and other emergency first-responders.
Because of their lighter weight, compact size, higher capacity and excellent portability, Odyssey carbon composite cylinders are also becoming increasingly popular for resuscitation and pain relief in emergency and pre-hospital care, as well as for home oxygen therapy.
 These ultra-lightweight cylinders provide maximum clinical benefits for ambulatory patients, offering them greater mobility and freedom to lead more active lives. Higher oxygen capacity allows patients to participate in longer-term activities with fewer cylinders.
Odyssey cylinders are the ideal solution to the growing global demand for more gas in smaller packages.
Benefits of our Odyssey cylinder line
- Charging pressure to 300 bar.
- Up to 50% lighter in weight than all-metal aluminum cylinders.
- Up to 70% lighter in weight than conventional steel cylinders.
- Compact, highly portable and convenient to use, especially for ambulatory oxygen patients.
- Cost-effective alternative to expensive LOX systems.
- Non-magnetic—compatible with MRI and other high-technology imaging systems.
- Extremely durable, corrosion resistant.
Components of an Odyssey cylinder
(1) Seamless L6X® aluminum alloy liner—This ultra-lightweight liner provides about 10% of the strength of the overall cylinder, which gets most of its strength from the carbon fiber overwrap.
(2) Ultra-high-strength carbon fibers in an epoxy matrix—The main strength of the cylinder is provided by an exceptionally strong carbon-fiber wrap that encompasses the liner all around.
(3) Extra outer layer of glass fiber—This additional fiber layer on the outside of the cylinder adds extra resistance to wear, damage and corrosion.
