Expertise in PEM AEM and AEL Membrane Production
The production processes share several similarities despite their differences in chemical functionality and application environments. The production of these membranes involves a series of precise manufacturing steps to ensure the membranes’ performance and durability in their respective applications.
Coating
The coating process is essential for applying the active ion-exchange material onto a substrate to create a uniform and functional membrane layer. This defines the membrane’s ion-exchange capabilities and its mechanical properties.
The application of a liquid solution or dispersion of the membrane polymer onto a substrate.
Curing
Curing solidifies and stabilizes the membrane layer, enhancing its mechanical strength and ion-exchange properties. It ensures that the membrane maintains its structure under operational conditions.
Cutting
Precise cutting is required to size the membranes for specific applications, ensuring they fit correctly into fuel cells, electrolysers, or other systems.
