Producer

Iceblick Ltd. (Odesa, Ukraine)

Ukrainian rare gas producer (Odesa, Ukraine); specializes in extraction and purification of rare gases from ASU byproduct streams including neon, krypton, and xenon for semiconductor and industrial applications. Iceblick was a smaller Ukrainian rare gas producer that continued operations during the 2022 invasion alongside Cryoin. Ukrainian rare gas companies — Ingas, Cryoin, Iceblick — collectively formed a cluster of rare gas expertise in Ukraine that had developed over decades around the country's Soviet-era steel mill ASU infrastructure. This cluster, which took decades to build, was built on crude rare gas streams that had been vented to atmosphere as waste at Soviet steel plants until Ukrainian entrepreneurship in the 1990s-2000s captured and purified them for sale.
