Most suppliers resell imported neon manufactured by a small set of global vendors, resulting in an unpredictable supply chain — and multiple major global shortages in recent years.
Messer controls the entire process from atmospheric extraction – across multiple cities based in the U.S. – to purification at our state-of-the-art facility in Coolbaugh, Pennsylvania, delivering a dependable supply of high-purity neon.
This vertically integrated approach allows Messer to function as a trusted ally for industries that demand a secure, highly consistent neon supply for business-critical operations.
Proven track record supporting semiconductor manufacturing, laser applications, and other high-tech industries where neon purity is critical.
Guidance on gas system design, installation, and optimization.
Gas cabinets, distribution systems, and integration support to simplify your operations.
Our leading domestic neon supply is backed by multiple sourcing strategies to build redundancies and mitigate potential disruptions.
Like other inert gases, neon is non-toxic, non-flammable, and chemically stable, making it safe for a wide range of industrial applications. However, as with any pressurized gas, proper handling and storage are essential for a safe workplace.
Messer adheres to rigorous safety standards, supporting you with expert guidance on how to use neon safely and efficiently. Our supply is backed by the full array of equipment (including gas cabinets, distribution systems, and other specialized equipment) needed to support the safe handling of neon gas.
All commercial neon is extracted from atmospheric air and is chemically identical. However, neon for specific industry applications varies according to:
Neon is a critical gas in electronics manufacturing, particularly in semiconductor production and specialized lighting applications. In semiconductor fabrication, neon is a key component in excimer lasers used for deep ultraviolet (DUV) lithography, enabling precise microchip patterning at nanometer scales. Neon is also used in certain plasma processes, where it can help control etching characteristics or act as a carrier gas for deposition.
In lighting, neon plays a role in LED and high-efficiency lighting technologies, where controlled gas environments support precise deposition and manufacturing processes.
Excimer lasers powered by neon are widely used in laser vision correction (LASIK), angioplasties, soft-tissue ablation, and other microsurgeries. These medical lasers rely on precise gas compositions to generate short- wavelength ultraviolet pulses for non-invasive surgical procedures.
Neon is a critical gas in the lasers used for precision cutting, welding, and materials processing in industrial fabrication. We can also supply gas for helium-neon (HeNe) lasers, which produce a stable red wavelength output widely used in alignment systems, metrology, and research applications.
In lighting, neon plays a role in LED and high-efficiency lighting technologies, where controlled gas environments support precise deposition and manufacturing processes.
Messer offers a range of neon gas cylinder sizes to accommodate diverse application needs. Backed by precise fill volumes and regulated pressures, all cylinders are equipped with CGA 580 valve outlets for secure and consistent usage.
Messer can accommodate international cylinder and valve standards to support export and integration for customers worldwide. We can work with you to comply with regional specifications, including CGA (U.S.), DIN (Europe), and JIS (Japan).
