Products

L6X® – aluminum type 1 cylinders

In 1988, Luxfer introduced SCUBA tanks manufactured from L6X®, a proprietary formula of aluminum alloy 6061-T6 developed by Luxfer metallurgists to provide superior corrosion-resistance and dependable performance in the most demanding underwater environments.

L6X® – aluminum hoop-wrap type 2 cylinders

In addition to its line of aluminum SCUBA cylinders, Luxfer also offers the world’s only 4,350-psi (300-bar) hoop-wrapped composite SCUBA cylinders, which provide increased gas capacity for longer, deeper dives.
