GYLON® Style 3504

High‑Performance PTFE Sealing for Hydrogen Electrolyzers

GYLON® Style 3504 is a high‑performance PTFE-based gasketing material designed to meet the demanding sealing requirements of the hydrogen electrolyzer industry. With the rapid global expansion of green hydrogen, electrolyzer systems must operate with extremely low leakage rates, chemical resistance, and long-term stability—especially under fluctuating pressures and temperatures. GYLON® Style 3504 provides a proven sealing solution that meets these expectations.

Engineered for both PEM and alkaline electrolyzer environments, GYLON® Style 3504 ensures durable, compliant, and reliable sealing performance across the entire hydrogen production process. Its excellent tightness behavior, regulatory compliance, and certified hydrogen compatibility make it a trusted material for OEMs and system integrators in the energy transition sector.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Optimized for Hydrogen Electrolyzers
    Designed to perform reliably in high‑purity hydrogen environments, supporting the demanding conditions of modern electrolyzer stacks and balance‑of‑plant systems.

  • BAM-Tested for Hydrogen Compatibility
    Certified by the German Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM), confirming excellent material stability after hydrogen exposure.

  • High Technical Tightness
    Validated with EN 13555 sealing parameters using helium—an even smaller molecule than hydrogen—ensuring extremely low leakage rates.

  • TA‑Luft Compliant
    Supports EN 1591‑1 calculations for technical tightness, fulfilling regulatory requirements for hydrogen handling systems.

  • Suitable for Gaseous & Cryogenic Hydrogen
    Performs under a wide range of operating conditions, including cold electrolyzer environments and high-pressure hydrogen streams.

  • Chemical Resistance for Harsh Media
    Withstands aggressive electrolytes, oxygen-rich environments, and process chemicals used in PEM and alkaline systems.

  • Stable Compressibility & Recovery
    Engineered PTFE structure ensures long-term sealing performance even under thermal cycling and continuous load.
