A broad portfolio of advanced materials for hydrogen production
Syensqo's technologies and products play a vital role in modern electrolyzers, contributing to improved power density, durability, and manufacturing productivity, which supports high-volume production. We leverage our knowledge and know-how related to leading electrolyzer types and draw on our broad portfolio to deliver unrivaled performance and unique solutions.
- Aquivion® - Aquivion® is an ion-conducting polymer used for membranes as well as cathode or anode binders. Aquivion® ionomers offer superior proton conductivity with good mechanical, thermal and chemical stability, widening the electrolyzer operating window.
- Radel® PPSU HYRA - This polyphenylsulfone (PPSU) is designed for injection molding, offering exceptional hydrolytic stability and toughness superior to other high-temperature engineering resins. It features a high deflection temperature and outstanding resistance to environmental stress cracking, making it ideal for cell frames or sub-gaskets in PEM electrolyzers and cell frames for alkaline electrolyzers.
- Ryton® PPS - Ryton® PPS is well-suited for cell frames found in alkaline electrolyzers. This polyphenylene sulfide is a semi-crystalline polymer offering exceptional chemical resistance and dimensional stability for components. It can be precision molded to tight tolerances with high reproducibility to support serial production.
- Tecnoflon® FKM/FFKM - Tecnoflon® FKM/FFKM is well suited for seals in alkaline and PEM electrolyzers. It has excellent chemical resistance to a wide range of media, stability in a wide temperature range as well as low hydrogen permeability and compression strength.
- Udel® PSU - Udel® PSU is a rigid polysulfone polymer for alkaline electrolyzer diaphragms that exhibits outstanding chemical resistance in harsh caustic environments, long-term mechanical stability, thermal resistance and oxidative stability. high strength, high heat resistance, and superior hydrolytic stability compared to polycarbonate.
- Udel® PSU HYRA - This polysulfone (PSU) grade is a rigid, high-strength thermoplastic specifically formulated for hydrogen applications and harsh alkaline environments. It is suitable for processing large parts through injection molding and metal overmolding. With its superior chemical stability, low thermal conductivity and compressive creep performance it is well suited for cell frames in alkaline electrolyzers. or compression molding and is available in natural color and black.
