What Is Sulfur Hexafluoride (Sf6)?

Sulfur hexafluoride (chemical formula: SF6) is a colorless, odorless, non-toxic, non-flammable gas with extremely 

high chemical stability and excellent electrical insulation properties. It is widely used in power systems, electronic 

manufacturing, medical equipment and other industrial fields, and is an indispensable and important gas material 

in modern industry.

Main Characteristics Of Sulfur Hexafluoride

Excellent insulation performance

The dielectric strength of sulfur hexafluoride is much higher than that of air. It is suitable for insulating media of 

high-voltage switchgear, substations and transmission lines, effectively preventing arc and short-circuit accidents.

Excellent chemical stability

SF6 gas is extremely stable at room temperature and pressure, does not react with other substances, and ensures 

long-term safe and reliable use.

Excellent arc extinguishing ability

Sulfur hexafluoride can quickly cool and extinguish arcs, improving the stability and safety of electrical equipment 

operation.

Non-toxic and environmentally friendly

Under normal use, SF6 is harmless to the human body, non-flammable, and meets many international safety standards.

Application Areas Of Sulfur Hexafluoride

Power Industry: high-voltage circuit breakers (GIS), transformers, disconnectors.

Electronic Manufacturing: plasma etching and cleaning processes in the semiconductor industry.

Medical Equipment: filling gas for specific ophthalmic surgeries.

Scientific Research: used as a gas tracer and leak detection.
