The FS-960-RFS is a perfluorinated cation-exchange membrane specifically designed for use in fuel cell applications (H2-PEMFC), particularly with oxygen under enhanced pressure. It is characterized by its low electrical resistance, high mechanical stability, minimal dimensional swelling, and exceptional stability in acidic environments. The membrane is delivered as a transparent foil on a colorless rigid PET backing layer and is ready for immediate use without the need for pretreatment. It is reinforced and stabilized, with a thickness of 55–65 μm, and exhibits high ion exchange capacity (IEC) and conductivity. The membrane is suitable for dry assembly and is known for its durability and performance in fuel cell systems.
