Argon (Ar)

Ultra-High Purity Inert Gas for Critical Processes

Argon, a noble gas constituting ~1% of Earth’s atmosphere, is a colorless, odorless, and non-toxic inert gas with unmatched chemical stability (reaction index: 0.0001 at 25°C). Argon is widely used in welding, lighting, food and beverage processing, and laboratory work due to its inertness. Our argon is available in gaseous and cryogenic liquid forms, achieving ≥99.999% purity (Grade 6.0) for mission-sensitive applications.
