Description
Hydrogen is a flammable, highly-reactive substance that places a lot of stress on the sealing materials in which it is contained. Selecting the correct material for your application is critical, with an efficient seal helping to minimise escaping gas and reduce the risk of prolonged exposure.
Our hydrogen-ready gaskets are durable, highly resistant to chemicals and fuels and have a low gas permeability, with our rigorous testing procedures ensuring that they are suitable for various processes involving 100% hydrogen and H2S, CO2 or natural gas. Our experienced team are on hand to provide expert advice on the correct materials for a wide range of sealing applications.
Hydrogen Gasket Materials
We stock a wide range of sheet materials suitable for use in processes involving hydrogen, from high-temperature composites to graphite gaskets, PTFE, and gland packings. To improve their impermeable qualities and chemical resistance, sheet materials can be wound with filler materials and compounds including Mica and carbon. Please contact us to discuss your production requirements.
