Why is Stopping SF₆ Leaks So Important?
Despite its utility, SF₆ is incredibly detrimental to the planet. With a warming potential 23,500 times higher than carbon dioxide (CO₂), SF₆ is the most potent greenhouse gas (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, fifth assesment report). This means that even in minute quantities, SF₆ has a disproportionately significant impact on global warming. Worryingly, the Environmental Protection Agency notes that leak detection surveys show approximately 10 percent of circuit breaker populations leak and, 85% of these leaks are releasing enough of this dangerous gas to be considered significant. Frequent leaks of such a potent greenhouse gas have become a serious contributing factor to global warming. Belzona SF6-FIX offers an effective, long-term solution which prevents environmental damage.
