One of the principal uses of Sulphur hexafluoride is as an insulating medium in circuit breakers, switch gear, power substations and gas insulated transmission lines. For these applications the gas used must meet or exceed ASTM D272 and IEC specifications.
Sulphur Hexafluoride is manufactured by direct fluorination of pure (elemental) Sulphur, generally by companies who produce fluorine for other purposes such as the production of fluorocarbons.
