Quality and documentation

SpecificationState required grade, purity and any impurity limits important to the application.

EvidenceIdentify required analytical, safety and transport documents so availability and scope can be reviewed correctly.

Where krypton is used

Application context determines the useful grade.

These technical use cases help frame an enquiry. Final suitability remains the responsibility of the receiving technical team and the confirmed product specification.

01

Insulating glass

Krypton can be used as a fill gas in selected high-performance insulating glass units.

02

Lighting and optics

Krypton is used in selected discharge lamps, flash systems and specialised optical sources.

03

Laser systems

Krypton and krypton-containing mixtures support selected ion, excimer and research laser systems.

04

Semiconductor processes

High-purity krypton may be specified for selected plasma and process applications.

05

Space propulsion

Krypton is used as an alternative propellant in some Hall-effect electric propulsion systems.

06

Science and research

Krypton supports spectroscopy, detector, tracer and other controlled laboratory applications.
