Morrisville, NC, USA – September 1st, 2026 – APJeT Plasma Technologies officially launched their groundbreaking atmospheric pressure plasma technology for waterproofing gas diffusion layers and porous transport layers today.

Their next-generation waterproofing technology uses room-temperature plasma machinery, as a replacement for PTFE sintering, and applies a proprietary chemical formulation that creates a conformal, waterproof coating with superior performance characteristics at a fraction of the traditional operating cost.

Key Financials:

· Cost savings of up to $7.50 per square meter, 79% reduction in cost over conventional processing

· Capital payback is less than 4 months

· 7X production capacity of traditional equipment

Key Performance Benefits – GreenFIX™-GDL Chemical Coating

· Up to 99% less fluorine than traditional PTFE coatings with no loss in waterproof performance

· Waterproof chemistry encapsulates individual fibers, maintaining high air permeability

· Thin, conformal coating has minimal impact on substrate flexibility

· High conductivity of the base material is maintained after waterproofing

· Chemistry is solvent-free

· Suitable for paper and fabric used as gas diffusion layers or porous transport layers

Key Machinery Benefits – APCure™ Plasma Machinery for Chemical-Curing

· Plasma cures GreenFIX™ chemistry at room temperature and pressure – NO HEAT

· Machinery is compact, roll-to-roll, and can operate continuously

· Line speeds of 10mpm are standard

· Handles roll widths of 1-2 meters

· Custom system designs available

APJeT Plasma Technologies has revolutionized the PTFE coating process with their Next-Generation GreenFIX™-GDL waterproof coating and APCure™ plasma chemical-curing technology. GreenFIX™ chemistries are exclusively compatible with APCure™ machinery and form an ultra-thin, conformal coating around the fibers, leaving pores open. The final waterproof coating repels as well as traditional PTFE with up to 99% less fluorine and minimal impact on key properties including air permeability, conductivity, and substrate flexibility.

The secret to APJeT’s futuristic coating process is their patented plasma chemical-curing technology, APCure™ machinery. APCure™ machinery uses plasma, the fourth state of matter, to instantly cure APJeT’s proprietary GreenFIX™ chemistries at room temperature and pressure. Without the need for heat, line speeds can be increased dramatically and operating costs reduced by 79%.

“We are newcomers to the Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Community,” says CEO and President Bentley Park, “and we are still learning the landscape, but we believe our technology can have a tremendous positive impact.” He continues, “In my experience, it is difficult to improve the performance of a product while also reducing costs, and very rare to also reduce the environmental footprint. Our technology provides significant improvement in all these areas. I see no downsides and tremendous potential for us in this industry.”
