Total Purity of Specialty Gases

We focus on the total purity of our specialty gases, setting strict limits on the critical impurities to optimize the efficiency of the instruments or applications that rely on our products.

Concorde offers these specialty gases:

Specialty Gases

Xenon

Xenon gas is used in lamps that produce intense, extremely short light flashes, such as stroboscopes and lights for high-speed photography. When a charge of electricity is passed through the gas at low pressure, it emits a flash of bluish-white light; at higher pressures, white light resembling daylights is emitted. Xenon flash lamps are used to activate ruby lasers.

Krypton

Krypton gas’s multiple emission lines make ionized krypton gas discharges appear whitish, making krypton-based bulbs useful in photography as a brilliant white light source. Krypton is thus used in some types of photographic flashes used in high-speed photography. Krypton gas is combined with other gases to make luminous signs glow with a bright greenish-yellow light.

Tetrafluoromethane

Tetrafluoromethane is commonly used to facilitate wafer etch processes or the fabrication of complex electronic circuits by itself or when combined with oxygen. It is also used as a low-temperature refrigerant and in neutron detectors.
