Neon. Pure Gas.
Description
Purity specifications
(Maximum impurity levels)*
Neon is a rare atmospheric gas which is odorless, colorless, tasteless, nontoxic, monatomic and chemically inert.
The concentration of Neon in the atmosphere, by volume percent, is 1.8 x 10-3. Neon is principally shipped and used
in gaseous form for excimer lasers, plasma displays, light bulbs, neon signs and R & D laboratory research. Linde
Gases Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are available for Neon gas and should be used as guidelines in regard to
first aid, methods of storage, handling and general use of Neon..
