HIGH-PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS
ACCORDING TO YOUR DESIGN

Fuel Cells

Fuel cells are complex technical devices that convert chemical energy directly into electricity. Using renewable hydrogen as a fuel, they can provide clean energy and pave the way to a carbon-neutral economy.

 

  • Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC)
  • Proton exchange membrane (PEM)

Electrolyzers

Electrolyzers are capable of splitting complex chemical substances into its basic elements by using electricity. Powered by energy from renewable resources, they are the most promising option for carbon-free hydrogen production.

 

  • Solid oxide electrolyzers (SOEC)
  • Proton exchange membrane (PEM)
  • Anion exchange membrane (AEM)

STACK UP ON PERFORMANCE
Coating technology

Coating technology is crucial for achieving low contact resistance, preventing corrosion or hydrogen uptake. It ensures the durability and performance of stacks under extreme conditions.

  • Thinnest layers for stable performance
  • Minimal material use with maximum performance
  • High conductivity for boosting efficiency in fuel cells and electrolyzers
  • Prevents ion dissolution over time
  • Eco-friendly and sustainable PVD coating process

STACK UP ON RELIABILITY
Sealing technology

A fluid-tight sealing, applied with highest precision, is essential for stack functionality and durability. The wide range of materials, geometries, and production processes require tailored implementation, in-house or through our extensive partner network.

  • Dispensing for fast and flexible applications
  • Assembled sealing for complex geometries and higher volumes
  • Injection molding or screen printing for highest volumes
  • Perfect alignment and inline control

FEINTOOL + SITEC
TWO COMPANIES – ONE VISION

Getting the best of two European technology leaders. Optimally positioned globally to manufacture metallic bipolar plates and interconnects economically and on an industrial scale.
