Sulfur Hexafluoride Market size is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast timeframe. Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6).is a non-toxic, inert, potent greenhouse gas having excellent electrical insulation property. Its principal uses are as an insulating and arc interrupting gas in the power transmission & distribution industry and as an etching agent in the electronics & semiconductor industry. High growth in the power generation sector coupled with rising demand for electronic gadgets will be the major reasons behind the sulfur hexafluoride market development in coming years.
Sulfur hexafluoride is colorless and odourless, is five times heavier than air and has a high dielectric strength and thermal stability. The product has strong electronegativity both at room temperature and at temperatures above the ambient. It has good heat transfer properties and produces no carbon, polymerisation, or other conductive deposits at the time of arcing. Sulfur hexafluoride is also compatible with a large number of solid conducting and insulating materials employed in electrical equipment. These properties make it an ideal product to be used for electrical insulation and arc quenching applications.
