Argonite

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Cite This Source

Argonite is a name brand and registered trademark owned by Ginge-Kerr for a mixture of 50% argon (Ar) and 50% nitrogen (N₂). It is an inert gas used in gaseous fire suppression systems.

Inergen, Sinorix CDT and Cerexen, which use pure argon or pure nitrogen, are similar products.

In fiction

In the universe of Marvel Comics's Squadron Supreme, argonite is a fictional rare radioactive substance which is one of the few in existence that can hurt the nearly invincible Hyperion. Just as Hyperion is an analogue for Superman, argonite is an analogue for kryptonite.
