Colorless SF6 Sulfur Hexafluoride MSDS Electric Gas Non Flammable
Description:
Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) is a colorless in-noxious and non-flammable gas at atmospheric temperature.. It is chemical stable with good insulation.
Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) is an inorganic, colorless, odorless, non-flammable, extremely potent greenhouse gas, which is an excellent electrical insulator.[4] SF6 has an octahedral geometry, consisting of six fluorine atoms attached to a central sulfur atom.
It is a hypervalent molecule. Typical for a nonpolar gas, it is poorly soluble in water but quite soluble in nonpolar organic solvents. It is generally transported as a liquefied compressed gas.

Medical use
|
SF6 is used to provide a tamponade or plug of a retinal hole in retinal detachment repair operations[9] in the form of a gas bubble.SF6 is used as a contrast agent for ultrasound imaging. Sulfur hexafluoride microbubbles are administered in solution through injection into a peripheral vein.

| Tracer compound |
Sulfur hexafluoride was the tracer gas used in the first roadway air dispersion model calibration; this research program was sponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and conducted in Sunnyvale, California on U.S. Highway 101.Sulfur hexafluoride is also routinely used as a tracer gas in laboratory fume hood containment testing. |
