Medical L6X Aluminum Type 1 Cylinders

L6X is our specific formula of 6061-T6 aluminum alloy. It was introduced in 1987 and has been exclusively used by Luxfer since 1988. L6X has become standard in the industry for various applications. Our L6X aluminum alloy has been specifically optimized to improve durability, fracture toughness, corrosion resistance and cylinder weight.

Type 1 cylinders are manufactured using aluminum billets, through a cold-extrusion process – providing a seamless, complete cylinder. Type 1 cylinders have a flat base, so they can be free standing without the need for additional support.

Our commitment to the medical industry means we offer a range of cylinders that are suitable for use across hospitals, clinics, and emergency care centers. Luxfer cylinders undergo rigorous quality checks and are manufactured in ISO certified environments.
