Krypton (Kr) is an inert, non-toxic, colorless, and odorless noble gas with applications in lighting, industrial, and scientific fields. As a noble gas, krypton is chemically inert and does not react with most substances, making it an ideal choice for various high-purity and low-temperature applications. It is often used in lighting, high-performance windows, and some medical imaging procedures.
Product Features:
· Chemical Formula: Kr
· Molecular Weight: 83.798 g/mol
· Physical Properties: Colorless, odorless, and non-toxic gas with a density of approximately 3.75 g/L at room temperature and atmospheric pressure
· Melting Point: -156.6℃
· Boiling Point: -153.35℃
· Reactivity: Chemically inert; does not react with most elements or compounds, making it stable and safe for use in various applications.
Uses:
· Used in lighting applications, including fluorescent lamps and high-intensity discharge (HID) lamps for a bright and efficient light output.
· Applied in high-performance insulating windows to improve energy efficiency by reducing heat loss.
· Utilized in scientific research, particularly in nuclear and space applications.
· Employed in some medical imaging technologies, including in certain types of X-ray equipment.
· Can be used in specialty gas mixtures for research and industrial processes requiring an inert atmosphere.
Safety:
· Non-toxic and non-corrosive
· Asphyxiation hazard in confined spaces - Displaces oxygen, posing a suffocation risk in enclosed areas
· Cryogenic risks (for liquid krypton) - Can cause severe frostbite upon contact with skin
Safety Precautions:
· Use in well-ventilated areas or with proper gas detection systems.
· When handling liquid krypton (LKr), wear insulated gloves, face shields, and protective clothing to prevent cryogenic burns.
· Store cylinders upright in a cool, dry place away from direct heat or ignition sources.
· Ensure proper handling and transportation of pressurized gas cylinders using approved safety equipment.
