Argon – Redefining the Standard for Leak Testing

Break free from Helium’s volatility. Discover a smarter, sustainable alternative that delivers industrial precision at a fraction of the cost.

In 2020 Nolek started testing with alternative gases

  • More than tousands of test runs was performed in pressure range from 10 -> 200 bar
  • Internal leak test done with N2 and Argon
  • Test on gases was conducted at nolek on CCMT machine with connected spectrometer

     

  • Gases in scope:
    • Hydrogen 5% mix
    • Nitrogen N”
    • Argon
    • Helium
    • C02

Why Argon?

Cost Efficiency

  • Lower and more stable pricing
  • Reduced exposure to price spikes
  • More predictable budgeting

Supply Security

  • Argon is produced as a by-product of air separation
  • Significantly better global availability
  • Less sensitive to geopolitical disruption

Sustainability

  • Helium is a finite natural resource
  • Argon is abundant in the atmosphere and effectively unlimited
