APJeT Plasma Technologies offers atmospheric pressure plasma technology for waterproofing gas diffusion layers and porous transport layers.

This next-generation waterproofing technology uses room-temperature plasma machinery (APCure™) as replacement for PTFE sintering and applies a proprietary chemical formulation (GreenFIX-GDL) to GDL and PTL substrates, creating a conformal, waterproof coating with superior performance characteristics at a fraction of the traditional operating cost.

Key Financials:

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

·Capital payback is less than 6 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

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
