Comparing E938 - Argon vs E946 - octafluorocyclobutane

Overview

E938 - Argon

Argon (E938) is a colorless, odorless noble gas used in food packaging to protect products from air. It fills the headspace in packs and bottles to push out oxygen, helping keep flavors, aromas, and textures intact. Because argon is inert, it does not react with the food itself.

E946 - octafluorocyclobutane

Octafluorocyclobutane (E946) is a colorless, odorless gas used in some regions as a propellant for aerosol food products. It does not add taste, texture, or calories; it simply helps push the food out of the can cleanly.

Popular questions

  1. What element has 18 electrons?

    Argon (E938); a neutral argon atom has 18 electrons because its atomic number is 18.

  2. What element has 18 neutrons?

    The argon isotope argon‑36 (36Ar) has 18 neutrons (36 − 18 = 18).

  3. What element has 18 protons?

    Argon—its atomic number is 18, meaning it has 18 protons.

  4. What element has 17 protons and 18 neutrons?

    Chlorine‑35; that nucleus (17 protons, 18 neutrons) belongs to chlorine, not argon.

  5. Which element has 18 electrons?

    Argon (E938); a neutral argon atom carries 18 electrons.
