Argon

The third most abundant chemical in earth’s atmosphere, argon is chemically inert and stable in all but the most extreme conditions. This inert stability makes argon a useful tool for shielding products from atmospheric contaminants.

Industry Usage of Argon

Welding

Used as a shielding gas in MIG welding, and to stabilize arcs in arc welding.

Food and Beverage

Displaces oxygen and moisture-bearing air in packaging to preserve freshness.

Maintenance and Repair
