L6X® – aluminium type 1 cylinders

Our Type 1 medical cylinders are manufactured from our L6X aluminium alloy, our proprietary formula of 6061 alloy.

Luxfer metallurgists, among the most recognized experts in the industry, developed this corrosion-resistant blend specifically to provide excellent performance in the most demanding high-pressure applications. Compared to conventional versions of 6061 alloy, Luxfer’s L6X has been optimized to improve durability, fracture toughness and resistance to tearing and cracking, even under high-pressure loads over long periods.

Widely used in home oxygen therapy, emergency medical services and medical institutional applications in more than 50 countries, Luxfer L6X medical cylinders have an outstanding record for safe, dependable performance.
