Albany, NY -- (SBWire) -- 02/19/2019 --Sulfur Hexafluoride Market: Overview

Sulfur hexafluoride is an inorganic, non-toxic, and non-flammable gas which is soluble in water.  Sulfur hexafluoride is manufactured by reacting fluorine with sulfur through electrolysis. Attractive thermal, electric and chemical properties of sulfur hexafluoride make it suitable for various applications such as power, medical, electronics, glass, and metal. Sulfur hexafluoride is largely used in electric and electronic applications. Thermal stability and high dielectric strength of sulfur hexafluoride impart significant cooling and insulating properties to it. Sulfur hexafluoride can be used in switch gears and electric circuit breakers, owing to its quenching properties. It is well-suited for use in high-voltage and medium-to-high-voltage power circuit breakers, electricity substations, transformers, high-voltage cables, linear accelerators, and electron microscopes.
