APJeT Plasma Technologies is replacing PTFE sintering for gas diffusion layers with a next-generation plasma process. The process combines high tech plasma machinery and a proprietary chemical formulation to create a superior waterproof coating at room-temperature. The waterproof coating achieves high levels of water contact angles while maintaining the high air permeability & conductivity of the starting carbon paper, and reducing the level of fluorine by up to 99%.
Compared to traditional PTFE sintering, APJeT's new technology offers a cost savings of over $7/m2, an 7X increase in production capacity, and a capital payback of less than 4 months.
