Summary

Making up slightly less than 1% of air, argon is best known for the properties it lacks - i.e. colour, odour and taste - and for its total inertness - it is noncorrosive, nonflammable and nontoxic. It is argon's inert properties that make it useful in a wide range of industrial gas applications - from the modified atmosphere packaging of foods to heavy manufacturing processes such as welding, steel making, heat treating and electronics manufacturing.
