As the world intensifies its efforts toward a sustainable, carbon-neutral future, green hydrogen has established itself as a central solution in the energy transition. However, this growing market also presents unique challenges, particularly in developing reliable sealing solutions for electrolyzers and hydrogen fuel cells.
Key aspects in this regard are safety, efficiency, and tailor-made sealing solutions that meet the specific needs of end users. Following, structured and expanded PTFE gaskets offer improved mechanical strength and lower creep tendency, making them better suited for demanding environments in both PEM and alkaline electrolyzers. Thanks to their optimized properties, these gaskets withstand operational stresses over the long term, maintain sealing integrity, and contribute to the overall performance and reliability of the hydrogen production process.
Additionally, PTFE fluoropolymers provide excellent electrical stability under various environmental conditions, setting them apart from other insulating materials.
