Greene Tweed has announced the launch of Arlon® 3160XT - a new glass-reinforced, cross-linked PEEK material for fuel cell, electrolyser and valve components.
With exceptional creep resistance and electrical insulation properties, Arlon® 3160XT represents a significant advancement in materials science, addressing critical needs in hydrogen applications.
Hydrogen energy is gaining momentum as a clean, renewable alternative to fossil fuels.
However, the transition to commercial-scale hydrogen production, storage and utilisation requires solutions for key material challenges.
Introduced at the Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Seminar in Long Beach, Arlon® 3160XT is engineered to bridge this gap by enhancing performance and reliability in key hydrogen systems.
Expanding on the capabilities of Greene Tweed’s trusted Arlon® 3000XT platform, this new grade delivers improved performance in the most demanding environments.
"One of the biggest challenges in the hydrogen industry has been the need for scalable, efficient, and cost-effective solutions that enhance production and distribution while withstanding extreme conditions," said Kerry Drake, PhD, Corporate Thermoplastics Technology Manager at Greene Tweed.
"Arlon® 3160XT is engineered to meet this challenge, helping streamline hydrogen processes, reduce operational costs, and deliver exceptional performance and reliability."
