Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) gas is a compound with particular characteristics. It is inert chemically and has great dielectric strength. In the electrical industry, it plays the role of an insulator and an arc extinguishing medium in high voltage electrical machines. The gas has a high dielectric strength, so it can sustain high electrical stresses without breaking down, which is beneficial for systems which require high electrical safety and reliability. Aside from its electrical functions, SF6 has some non - electrical applications which include use in some semiconductors and as a tracer gas for studies in the environment. Nevertheless, its impact on the environment, especially on global warming as an extremely potent greenhouse gas, has raised much concern. Therefore, there is a push to lessen its use or to find alternatives while still providing the level of performance needed for those industries dependent on SF6.
