As the global focus shifts towards decarbonization and the hydrogen economy gains momentum, the critical role of sealing technologies in enabling the efficient, safe, and reliable operation of hydrogen systems becomes increasingly evident. Freudenberg Sealing Technologies has emerged as a key player in providing innovative solutions to address the challenges posed by hydrogen applications. Sealing technologies are integral at every stage of the hydrogen value chain, from withstanding high pressures in electrolyzers for green hydrogen production to ensuring safety in storage, distribution, fuel cells, and hydrogen combustion engines. The development of seals that can perform effectively under extreme conditions like high pressures, temperature fluctuations, and chemical reactivity is essential for the widespread adoption of hydrogen technologies. Freudenberg Sealing Technologies has focused on material science to drive innovation in sealing solutions. By developing specialized elastomers and polymers such as HNBR and FKM with proprietary additives, they have enhanced the resistance of seals to hydrogen embrittlement and chemical degradation. These advanced materials not only improve performance but also contribute to sustainability by extending the lifespan of seals and reducing waste. The practical applications of these advanced seals are diverse and impactful. They support the reliable operation of hydrogen-powered vehicles, efficient refueling processes at high pressures, and safe electrolysis systems for green hydrogen production. Collaboration with industry partners like Graebener in enhancing bipolar plate technologies further underscores the interconnected nature of the hydrogen value chain. In a collaborative effort to improve bipolar plate technologies, Freudenberg Sealing Technologies and Graebener are emphasizing the early consideration of sealing solutions in the design process. By acknowledging the importance of seals and utilizing custom solutions tailored for hydrogen applications, the industry is poised to overcome technical hurdles and accelerate the transition towards a hydrogen-powered future.
