Argon

A rare and interesting gas, argon has some very unique properties. Its colorless, which means that you can not see it. It is also tasteless and odorless — you cannot taste it and it does not smell. Argon is present everywhere in the air we breathe and accounts for nearly 1 % of Earth’s atmosphere. Argon is so abundant in our surroundings that it finds several applications in factories, scientific research and multiple industries. 

Argon by AGEM s a noble gas. That also means it's extremely stable and won't easily mix in or react with other chemicals. The atomic structure of argon cylinder is a reason for its stability; this stability makes argon helpful in many types of work. What's interesting about argon is that it can't transmit electricity. In welding, this property plays a significant role. It also uses argon in its welding, which prevents something called arc blow — in which the welding arc can get blown off course by magnetic fields. This way, you can help make sure the welding is safe and proper.  

How this gas is used in manufacturing and production?

Argon from AGEM is used in several ways throughout factories and industry. Among its main functions is to help produce a unique atmosphere that does not consist of oxygen. This is known as an inert atmosphere. Absence of oxygen is important as it halts reactions that might damage the  products being formed. It is particularly critical in the manufacturing of electronics, which can be particularly susceptible to moisture and oxygen. There’s a risk that if moisture or oxygen somehow gets into the process, it may ruin very delicate electronic parts. Besides, argon is used to produce bulbs as well. It fills the inside of the bulb to keep the filament, the part that glows, from burning out too quickly. That makes bulbs last longer and work better.
