Argon SDS
📄 Argon SDS PDF download, GHS classification, CAS 7440-37-1, hazard statements, and industrial safety information.
Argon is a colorless, odorless, inert noble gas widely used in welding, metal fabrication, electronics manufacturing, and laboratory environments. It is non-flammable and chemically stable, but high concentrations can displace oxygen and create an asphyxiation hazard in confined spaces.
What is Argon?
- Noble gas (Ar)
- Chemically inert under normal conditions
- Used as shielding gas in welding
- Simple asphyxiant in enclosed areas
