Enabling Improvements and Innovations
For more than 50 years, Nafion™ membranes and dispersions have provided critical applications with unparalleled performance and durability. Today, the Nafion™ portfolio provides leading-edge solutions that create production and process improvements, ensure superior performance standards, & allow manufacturers to pursue new markets.
Global Demands Are Changing. We’re Ready and Able to Meet Them.
As consumers and regulators demand more sustainable and responsible solutions, operating environments and application requirements are changing too. Increased energy consumption requires cleaner, more efficient sources and distribution methods. Our membrane technology reduces wasted energy and facilitates clean hydrogen production.
Nafion™ ion exchange membranes provide a clean solution to energy production, with water as the only byproduct. Fuel cells—another Nafion™ membrane application—convert hydrogen to electricity, which supplements intermittent power generated by renewables, a popular alternative to carbon-based energy sources. But Relying on new energy generation sources is only part of the equation—excess energy storage and distribution will need to support the heavier loads society demands.
Innovating energy production, storage, and distribution may influence the progress of other industries. Manufacturers will produce more electric and hydrogen-powered vehicles once those fuel sources become readily available and affordable. More smart cities will rely on grids and meters to automate efficient use. The power of chemistry will enhance these and many other applications within the energy industry, while working to reduce its environmental footprint.
