However, the transition to a hydrogen-based economy is not without its challenges. One of the critical hurdles is the need for reliable and efficient sealing solutions for electrolyzers, fuel cells and other hydrogen systems. These components must withstand harsh operating conditions, including high pressures, temperatures, and chemical reactions. As the industry shifts from manual production to high-volume, semi-automated, or fully automated manufacturing, the demand for advanced sealing solutions becomes even more pressing.
The importance of sealings in hydrogen applications
Sealing solutions are paramount in hydrogen systems due to hydrogen's unique properties. As the smallest and lightest molecule, hydrogen can easily permeate through materials, posing significant challenges in containment and transport.
At the same time, their performance can be compromised by exposure to high-pressure hydrogen, leading to issues such as swelling, leaking or rapid gas decompression.
