Liquid Argon

Liquid argon is tasteless, colorless, odorless, noncorrosive, nonflammable, and extremely cold. Belonging to the family of rare gases, argon is the most plentiful, making up approximately 1% of the earth's atmosphere. It is monatomic and extremely inert, forming no known chemical compounds.

Since argon is inert, special materials of construction are not required. However, materials of construction must be selected to withstand the low temperature of liquid argon. Although used more commonly in the gaseous state, argon is commonly stored and transported as a liquid, affording a more cost-effective way of providing product supply.

Liquid argon is a cryogenic liquid. Cryogenic liquids are liquefied gases that have a normal boiling point below -130°F (-90°C). Liquid argon has a boiling point of -303°F (-186°C). The temperature difference between the product and the surrounding environment, even in winter, is substantial.

Application

  • Lighting industry for filling bulbs and with combinations of other rare gases for the filling of special bulbs and tubes for special color effects.
  • The welding industry uses argon as a shielding gas to protect metal from oxidation during welding.
  • Argon is also used extensively in the semiconductor manufacturing process as a purge gas.
