ZIRFON UTP 500+

The ZIRFON H2 membrane used for alkaline water electrolysis (AWE) is favored by electrolysis cell manufacturers and hydrogen production project owners worldwide due to its durability and sustained high productivity.

According to a report by the Fraunhofer Institute, the use of AGFA ZIRFON H2 membrane makes AWE the most effective hydrogen production technology.

In order to achieve the ambitious goal of global decarbonization, ZIRFON's choice is simply decisive.

The hydrogen economy will redraw the energy map. Undoubtedly, hydrogen will play a crucial role in energy transformation, especially in harvesting rapidly growing renewable energy. Therefore, in the global competition to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement, hydrogen technology is increasingly becoming a focus of attention and is now considered a key and profitable opportunity. The moment of hydrogen must be now!

That's why more and more companies and investors are prioritizing hydrogen. However, every business decision carries risks, and in order to mitigate these risks, communication and knowledge sharing are crucial.

Agfa is a member of Hydrogen Europe, representing European industrial, national associations, and research centers active in the hydrogen and fuel cell fields.

Zirfon is a high-performance ion exchange membrane produced by AGFA Healthcare in Belgium. This type of membrane material is mainly used in the fields of batteries, fuel cells, electrolysis of water for hydrogen production, and is known as the "Swiss Army Knife" in the field of electrochemistry.

Zirfon proton exchange membranes have advantages such as high temperature stability, high pressure tolerance, excellent conductivity, good chemical stability, and ease of processing. In the battery manufacturing process, Zirfon proton exchange membranes can be used for processes such as lithium-ion transport, isolation, and discharge protection. In fuel cells, this membrane material can be used in ion exchange, water management, and gas isolation processes. Zirfon proton exchange membranes are widely used in electrolysis cell membranes for hydrogen production.

With the launch of a new high-performance ZIRFON UTP 500 membrane for advanced alkaline electrolysis, Agfa has once again contributed to reducing the cost of green hydrogen production.
