Industrial gases play a vital role across a wide range of industries, from semiconductor manufacturing and healthcare to metallurgy and environmental protection. For global procurement managers, understanding the different classifications and applications of industrial gases is key to selecting the right supplier and optimizing supply chains.
Here’s a practical breakdown of the 14 major types of industrial gases, along with their typical uses and how Jinhong Gas can support your sourcing needs.
1. Specialty Gases
High-purity or ultra-high-purity gases, as well as multi-component gas mixtures, used in precision applications. Commonly found in electronics, laboratory analysis, aerospace, food preservation, and environmental testing.
Jinhong Solution: Custom gas blending services with ppm-level accuracy, backed by ISO-certified production and packaging.
2. Standard Gases
Certified reference gases used to calibrate instruments and validate processes in petrochemicals, metallurgy, environmental monitoring, and automotive emissions testing.
Jinhong Solution: Offers binary, ternary, and complex multi-component standard gas mixtures with traceable calibration certificates.
3. Electronic Gases
Critical to semiconductor manufacturing, these gases include high-purity carrier gases and specialty materials for etching, doping, and deposition.
Jinhong Solution: Ultra-pure electronic gases meeting SEMI standards, with impurity control down to ppb or ppt levels.
4. Epitaxial Gases
Used in chemical vapor deposition (CVD) to grow single-crystal semiconductor layers. Examples include silane, dichlorosilane, and trichlorosilane.
Jinhong Solution: Stable supply of high-purity silicon precursors with full traceability and batch consistency.
5. Etching Gases
Fluorinated gases used in dry etching processes to define precise circuit patterns on wafers.
Jinhong Solution: Supplies CF₄, NF₃, C₂F₆, CHF₃, etc., with precise flow control compatibility for plasma systems.
6. Dopant Gases
Gas-phase dopants such as arsine (AsH₃), phosphine (PH₃), and diborane (B₂H₆) used in ion implantation or diffusion processes.
Jinhong Solution: Safe packaging and delivery systems for toxic dopants, along with technical support for purity monitoring.
7. Sterilizing Gases (Fumigants)
Gases like ethylene oxide and methyl bromide used for low-temperature sterilization of medical devices, cosmetics, and food packaging.
Jinhong Solution: Blended sterilization gases tailored to your concentration, temperature, and safety requirements.
8. Welding Gases
Shielding gases that protect welds from oxidation and improve arc stability. Available as pure gases or blends such as Ar/CO₂, Ar/He, Ar/H₂.
Jinhong Solution: Offers cost-effective welding gas mixtures optimized for MIG, TIG, and MAG processes.
9. Ion Implantation Gases
Highly reactive gases used for doping in semiconductor production via ion implantation. Includes boron, phosphorus, and arsenic compounds.
Jinhong Solution: High-purity dopant gases with leak-proof packaging and comprehensive SDS documentation.
10. Nonliquefied Compressed Gases
Remain gaseous under normal storage conditions. Common examples: nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, and argon.
Jinhong Solution: Bulk and cylinder delivery with flexible logistics options including on-site refilling stations.
11. Liquefied Gases
Stored under pressure in liquid form. Widely used in food processing, fire suppression, and refrigerants. Examples: CO₂, ammonia, LPG.
Jinhong Solution: ISO-tank container supply for large users, with real-time tank monitoring and replenishment alerts.
12. Rare Gases (Noble Gases)
Inert gases such as helium, neon, argon, krypton, and xenon. Used in lighting, laser systems, and electronics.
Jinhong Solution: Secure helium sourcing and long-term supply agreements for critical applications.
13. Low-Pressure Liquefied Gases
Liquids at ambient temperatures under low pressure. Used in refrigeration, cleaning, or sterilization. Examples include R134a, dimethyl ether, and methyl bromide.
Jinhong Solution: Custom filling solutions for refrigerants and solvents with temperature-controlled delivery.
14. High-Pressure Liquefied Gases
Liquids stored under high pressure and evaporate when temperature rises. Examples: nitrous oxide, CO₂, SF₆, ethylene.
Jinhong Solution: Advanced cylinder tracking and safe delivery with UN/DOT-compliant valves and fittings.
