Hydrogen Material Benefits
Engineered for the Most Demanding Stack Positions
High Chemical Resistance
Resists virtually all acids, bases and solvents.
Low Permeability
Non-porous after cycling — zero gas crossover.
Electrical Insulation
High dielectric anode/cathode separation.
High Temperature Resistance
Reliable from -328°F (-200°C) to 600°F (316°C).
Cleaner Solution
FDA-compliant. No catalyst poisoning.
Consistent Quality
Roll-to-roll, tight tolerances, every run.
Gaskets for Fuel Cells & Electrolysers
Multi-functional, reliable, and robust, TCI composites serve as seals and separator components within fuel cell systems — ensuring energy efficiency and stack modularity. Reduced material creep and excellent tensile strength provide long-lasting performance. Supplied as sheets, roll-to-roll, or die-cut to specification.
Release Solutions for Decal Transfer
TCI release solutions serve as processing belts and release sheets for thermal curing and lamination — providing a flat, smooth, mechanically stable substrate for even catalytic ink distribution. At the final stage of CCM production, substrates remove cleanly, allowing 100% transfer. Extremely thin and tightly toleranced, TCI carriers can support thinner catalyst layers.
