Trelleborg Sealing Solutions is developing and testing new materials and solutions to meet the unique requirements of hydrogen and fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs).
Our continuously growing portfolio of specially engineered H2 ready & tested materials is suitable for use in both FCEVs and conventional automotive engines.

 

Materials are fully tested to ensure high performance in FCEV applications. Tests include leakage tests using oxygen, ozone and hydrogen (including explosive decompression), long term testing to predict lifetime, and pressure and temperature testing in rigs, which simulate real life conditions Our portfolio includes materials for a wide range of operating pressures, including high pressure applications, over 500 bar.

Elastomers are one of the most important materials for seals When specified to match application requirements, they offer outstanding elasticity and are compatible with a wide range of operating environments.

Trelleborg’s range of Zurcon® polyurethane materials is developed and produced using advanced technologies Zurcon® materials demonstrate excellent elastic properties, outstanding wear resistance, excellent compression properties and wide ranging chemical compatibility.
