Here's the number one reason you shouldn't use that stuff... you ready?... It can make you "drown." Since it is heavier than air, if you breath in too much you can't expel all of it from the bottom of your lungs without turning on your head.

You might want to check your facts.

I don't understand what's wrong with my slightly wrong but still valid warning. Flamebait much?

Sorry, forgot my /sarcasm tags. Apparently no one understands that shit unless you explicitly say it.

On a lighter note, I'm drinking.

I worked at a magnesium foundry last spring and summer. They use SF6 (this stuff) as a cover gas for the molten pots, to try and limit unwanted oxidation, reactivity and slag formation. It's pretty awesome stuff. There's a big push to get rid of it though, as it's tagged as a "greenhouse gas" and the EPA and ISO are up everybody's butt to get it out of the industrial workplace.

Didn't know you could inhale it and "sound like the god of hellfire" though. That's pretty neat.

I would think that a greenhoue gas would need to rise to the atmosphere to do anything, but maybe it breaks down into greenhouse gases? I'll have to look into it. We use it in mining as a tracer gas in underground ventilation tests.

Its mixing ratio in the atmosphere is lower than that of CO2 (about 4 parts per trillion ppt in 1990 versus 365 ppm of carbon dioxide),[4] its contribution to global warming is accordingly low.
