Argon & Pure Argon (Ar / PAr)

Overview

Argon is an inert, colorless and odorless gas commonly used as a shielding gas in TIG and MIG welding to protect the weld area from atmospheric contamination. Pure Argon (PAr) is supplied at higher purity levels for applications that require minimal impurities.

Key Characteristics

• Colorless, odorless, inert gas
• Chemically non-reactive and heavier than air
• Non-flammable
• Available in standard and high-purity (Pure Argon) grades

Common Applications

• TIG and MIG welding shielding gas
• Metal fabrication
• Inerting and purging applications requiring an inert atmosphere
