CAS No.: 7440-63-3
EINECS No.: 231-172-7
UN No.: UN2036/2591
Purity: 99.99%-99.999%
Dot Class: 2.2 Non-flammable gas
Appearance: Colorless, odorless gas
Xenon is a chemical element; it has symbol Xe and atomic number 54. It is a dense, colorless, odorless noble gas found in Earth's atmosphere in trace amounts.
In the lighting industry: Both sodium and mercury lamps, which are used extensively for outdoor and roadway lighting are filled with pure xenon.
Used for incandescent lamps, iodine lamps (car headlights), arc lights, flash bulbs, cinema projection lamps, Klieg lights for filming (sunlight simulation), and space simulation lamps.
When mixed with oxygen, xenon is used in CAT (Computer Aided Tomography) scanners for blood flow mapping.
When mixed with methane, xenon is used as a fill gas for proportional counters and other types of radiation detectors.
Xenon-based chemical compounds can serve as fluorinating and oxidizing agents.
Used for mass spectrometer calibration.
Used in some types of ion and excimer lasers.
