Stuttgart & Hamburg, Germany, October 2024: Trelleborg Sealing Solutions will unveil its latest hydrogen innovations at Hy-fcell in Stuttgart on October 8-9 and the Hydrogen Technology Expo in Hamburg on October 23-24. The company will highlight its expanding H2Pro™ range of over 20 materials, tailored for hydrogen production, transport, storage, and end-use applications. In addition, Trelleborg will debut its innovative FlexiBond solution, designed for electrolyzers and fuel cells.
Daniel Hauser, Manager Lead Group Hydrogen, emphasized, “Our H2Pro™ materials, proven through rigorous testing, meet the challenges faced across the hydrogen value chain. We’re excited to introduce FlexiBond, which opens new design possibilities for electrolyzers and fuel cells by enhancing the stability of large frame seals while reducing the need for expensive injection molding equipment.”
The H2Pro™ materials provide superior sealing in harsh hydrogen environments, with features such as resistance to rapid gas decompression (RGD), minimal hydrogen permeation, and excellent abrasion and extrusion properties. These materials are designed to perform under high pressures and low temperatures, meeting the demands of real-world hydrogen applications.
Trelleborg will also spotlight its advanced R&D capabilities, supported by a new hydrogen test facility in Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA. This facility plays a crucial role in Trelleborg’s strategy to lead in hydrogen sealing technology, offering extended testing capabilities like hydrogen leak detection, permeation testing, and dynamic compatibility tests for pressures up to 15,000 psi and temperatures from cryogenic to 350°F.
Attendees at the Hydrogen Technology Expo can also join a technical presentation by Philipp Hirstein, Manager of Hydrogen Technology, on October 24 at 1:40 pm in Hall A4, where he will discuss the theory and practice of sealing in hydrogen applications.
At Hy-fcell, Trelleborg, in collaboration with Ensinger Plastics, will present components made from high-performance plastics for use with gaseous (CGH2) and liquid hydrogen (LH2) at cryogenic temperatures, solidifying its position as an innovator in hydrogen solutions.
