The FS-930-RFS is a fluorinated cation-exchange membrane specifically designed for use in fuel cell applications (H2-PEMFC). It is characterized by its low electrical resistance, high mechanical stability, low dimensional swelling, and exceptional stability in acidic environments. The membrane is supplied as a transparent, light brown foil on a backing layer of colorless rigid PET foil and is ready for use without any pretreatment. It exhibits excellent performance with an area resistance of less than 0.02 Ω cm² at 25°C in H-form and high tensile strength, making it ideal for fuel cell systems. The membrane is also durable and resistant to punctures and scratches, ensuring reliable operation in demanding conditions.
