Next Generation FORBLUE™ S-SERIES membranes for PEM Water Electrolysis

FORBLUE™ is a family of products under AGC Chemicals branded as separation solutions for various chemicals and processes. S-SERIES, a FORBLUE™ member, is a perfluorinated ion exchange membrane used for polymer electrolyte membrane water electrolysis, redox flow batteries, and various other electrolysis. The product line has different membrane thicknesses, fiber reinforcement availability, and counter-ion mechanisms. Recently, AGC has developed the next generation of S-SERIES membranes with smaller thicknesses, improved reinforcement, and lower equivalent weight (EW). The membrane showed lower electric resistance, more stable dimensional change, and lower gas crossover compared to standard and competitive membranes.
