The inert gas for your cryogenic, heat transfer, shielding, leak detection, analytical, and lifting applications.

Helium is the second most abundant element in the universe, yet on Earth it is exceptionally rare. Because of its light weight, it easily escapes the planet’s gravity. Every portion of Helium lost is gone forever. Helium is inert, non-toxic, and non-flammable in nature and has the lowest boiling point of any known element on Earth (-268.9°C / -452°F).

The ultra-low boiling point of Helium makes it unmatched in thermal conductivity. No other natural or synthetic element is capable of matching the conductivity of He, making it ideal for high-sensitivity leak detection. Helium’s physical properties make it an integral part of multiple critical industries like healthcare and electronics.

Helium is used to cool the superconducting magnets in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machines while maintaining zero electrical resistance. Semiconductor manufacturers require high-purity industrial Helium gas as an inert shielding atmosphere and rapid heat transfer agent during wafer manufacturing.

INOXAP has been a reliable supplier of Helium to multiple businesses, from specialized analytical laboratories that require 99.99% purity to distributors of Helium balloons gas. As a renowned Helium gas company, we provide an India-wide network of secure supply with technical expertise and high security.
