t the core of the solution is DELO PHOTOBOND SL, a liquid gasket material specifically developed for fuel‑cell applications. It is applied in liquid form and cured by light within just a few seconds. In addition to its extremely short curing time, it offers high resistance to typical reference media such as sulfuric acid and deionized water – a key factor for the reliability and service life of modern fuel cells.

Precise application is ensured by the DATRON evo 600, which achieves exceptionally high dispensing speeds of up to 50 meters per minute. The volumetric system guarantees a constant bead cross‑section, even at start and stop points. This makes it possible to produce hundreds of cells with consistently high quality that can then be reliably combined into a stack. The liquid application allows maximum design flexibility in gasket geometry and is ideally suited for automated production. Both the integrated confocal sensor, which measures the gasket height immediately after dispensing, and the adhesive’s fluorescence enable fast inline quality control.
