Most suppliers rely on imported krypton, leading to potential supply chain instability. Messer controls the entire process from atmospheric extraction to purification, all the way to providing mixtures and pures.
Extensive experience supporting semiconductor manufacturing, lighting, aerospace, and window insulation applications where high-purity krypton is essential.
Assistance with gas system design, installation, and optimization to support seamless integration and operational efficiency.
Messer provides gas cabinets, distribution systems, and integration support to simplify krypton storage and delivery.
Our domestically produced krypton is backed by diversified sourcing strategies to enhance reliability and minimize supply disruptions.
As a chemically inert noble gas, krypton is non-toxic and non-flammable under normal conditions. However, as with all compressed gases, proper safety precautions must be followed.
Messer adheres to stringent safety standards while supporting you with expert guidance for handling krypton safely and effectively. Our krypton supply is supported by comprehensive equipment solutions, including gas cabinets, distribution systems, and specialized handling equipment.
All commercial krypton is chemically identical, but different industries require varying levels of purity and delivery formats to meet precise operational needs.
Messer supplies krypton for aerospace and defense applications, particularly as a propellant for lower-earth orbit space applications. While less efficient than xenon, krypton offers a cost-effective alternative for ion thrusters in spacecraft propulsion, especially for missions where cost constraints outweigh fuel efficiency considerations.
Krypton plays a key role in plasma etching and ion implantation, both fundamental semiconductor manufacturing processes. Its high atomic mass enables precise material removal in etching applications, while krypton ions are used in ion implantation to modify electrical properties in semiconductor materials.
In sputtering – a process used to deposit thin films on a substrate – gaseous krypton is ionized and accelerated towards the substrate, where it knocks atoms off a target material. These atoms then deposit on the substrate, forming a thin film. Because krypton is inert and does not react with the target material or the substrate, it helps to maintain the quality of the deposited film.
Krypton is widely used in energy-efficient windows as an advanced insulating gas. Compared to argon, krypton provides superior thermal performance when used in double- and triple-pane glazing, significantly reducing heat transfer and improving overall energy efficiency. This makes krypton-filled windows an ideal choice for commercial and residential energy conservation.
Messer provides tailored gas distribution solutions to support safe, efficient krypton delivery for industrial use. Our high-purity krypton is available in high-pressure cylinders, and we work closely with you to integrate the right gas handling and storage solutions for your specific needs.
Messer also accommodates international cylinder and valve standards, supporting customers worldwide with compliance for CGA (U.S.), DIN (Europe), and JIS (Japan) standards.
