Sulfur Hexafluoride, SF6 Specialty Gas

In the modern industrial field, sulfur hexafluoride (SF₆) gas has become an indispensable key material in power equipment, electrical switches and high-voltage equipment due to its excellent insulation performance and arc extinguishing ability. As a colorless, odorless and non-toxic gas, SF₆ shows extremely high stability under high-voltage environments and is widely used in power transmission, substations, circuit breakers and gas insulated switchgear (GIS).

Core advantages of sulfur hexafluoride
1.Excellent insulation performance
The insulation strength of SF₆ gas is more than 2.5 times that of air, which can effectively prevent arc and discharge phenomena under high-voltage environments and ensure safe and stable operation of equipment.
2Efficient arc extinguishing ability
During the circuit breaker switching operation, SF₆ can quickly absorb arc energy, prevent equipment damage and extend service life.
3.Strong chemical stability
SF₆ does not react with most materials at room temperature, has extremely high chemical inertness, and is suitable for long-term use in harsh environments.
4.Environmental protection and recyclability
Although SF₆ is a potent greenhouse gas, its impact on the environment can be effectively reduced through strict recycling and reuse processes.
