High-purity deuterium (D₂) gas supplied from China for research, nuclear applications, and specialty chemical synthesis.

Deuterium is a heavier, stable isotope of hydrogen, consisting of one proton and one neutron in its nucleus. It is a colorless, odorless, non-toxic, and flammable gas. As a diatomic molecule, it exists in ortho and para spin isomers, with a 2:1 equilibrium composition at room temperature. Deuterium serves as a critical material in nuclear research and neutron moderation, a tracer for isotopic labeling in biochemical and environmental studies, a feedstock for producing heavy water and deuterated compounds, and a specialized gas in semiconductor and fiber optic manufacturing. It is also used in advanced scientific research, including neutron scattering experiments and fusion energy studies, typically transported as a liquefied compressed gas.

Deuterium (UN 1957) is classified as a flammable compressed gas and must be handled under strict hazardous materials regulations.

  • Commercial invoice & packing list
  1. Send technical requirements (purity, cylinder specification, application)
  2. Receive quotation (EXW / FOB / CIF options)
  3. Confirm cylinder specification & compliance
  4. Review COA, MSDS, and certification documents
  5. Production, filling, and quality inspection
  6. Hazardous goods shipping arrangement
  7. Delivery and final inspection at destination
  • Choosing suppliers only based on lowest price
  • Ignoring cylinder certification and pressure rating
  • Not verifying moisture and impurity levels
  • Skipping third-party inspection before shipment
  • Overlooking export documentation compliance
  • Not specifying the required purity for isotopic applications
