Air Liquide: update on xenon and krypton contracts

(CercleFinance.com) - This morning Air Liquide announced the signing - since the beginning of the year - of multi-year contracts worth over 50 million euros for xenon and krypton.


The French giant of industrial and medical gases said that these contracts were won from manufacturers of semiconductors and satellites in Europe, the US and Asia.

"The semiconductor industry uses xenon or krypton in its new processes to produce high-end flash memories at a lower cost, supporting the increasing need to store and move massive quantities of data," says the group. In the space industry, the all-electric propulsion satellites also use xenon.
