You can cut our materials via laser cutting with the required safety measures to prevent fires (as Titanium is extremely flammable).
Mechanical cutting is possible if the tolerances can meet your requirements.
Hydrogen generation is a fast growing market, requesting timely and qualitative supply of PTL and/or information.
Hence questions may arise on various subjects which we envisage to tackle here.
How can the material be cut? What cutting technologies can be used?
You can cut our materials via laser cutting with the required safety measures to prevent fires (as Titanium is extremely flammable).
Mechanical cutting is possible if the tolerances can meet your requirements.
Is there any specifications on pore size?
We are currently working on basic characterisations of porous structures to determine pore size. This will allow definitions of minimum, average and maximum pore sizes.
Fiber structures are 3-dimensional labyrinth structures and the smallest part of the pore size can be in the depth. This is less relevant for the PTL performance in electrolysis.
More valuable data for the pore sizes at the surface (top 20 µm) can be collected via µCT scans which are quite sophisticated and expensive. Pore size specifications will become available for an increasing section of our product portfolio.
Is there a technical data sheet available?
We provide a product list with the parameters indicated in the product types. You can find them here:
We are currently collecting technical data to complete set of data, which can be already available upon request for selected products.
Is there a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) available?
We have no Safety Data Sheet available. Our products are not chemicals but articles. REACH explicitly defines that SDS is relevant to chemicals only, and legal authorities recommend not to issue SDS's for articles.
Do your products have a top and bottom side?
Our monolayer materials do not have a top and bottom side.
Our dual layer materials have a fine toplayer (usually facing the MEA/CCM side) and a coarse backlayer (facing the Bipolar Plate side).
