Magnetron Sputtering Equipment for Noble Metal Coatings

Scale your green hydrogen component manufacturing with AGC Plasma’s industrial-grade magnetron sputtering equipment.
Designed for system integrators and equipment buyers, our modular PVD vacuum coating systems enable the precise, ultra-thin deposition of noble metals (such as platinum) onto Porous Transport Layers (PTL) and Bipolar Plates (BPP).
Replace expensive, legacy wet-chemical processes with our high-throughput, eco-friendly vacuum technology to minimize raw material consumption, lower production costs, and ensure superior corrosion resistance for PEM electrolyzers and fuel cells.

Magnetron Sputtering Equipment for Noble Metal Coatings

As the demand for Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolyzers and fuel cells surges, component manufacturers need robust, scalable production lines that minimize reliance on expensive precious materials.
AGC Plasma—the industrial coatings unit of AGC Inc.—designs, manufactures, installs, and commissions state-of-the-art magnetron sputtering vacuum equipment.
Leveraging decades of large-area glass coating expertise, our systems deliver the exact electrical conductivity and chemical stability required for high-efficiency hydrogen production.

Key System Features & Manufacturing Benefits

Advanced PVD Technology: Industry-proven vacuum deposition systems offering superior process stability, high reproducibility, and low particle pollution.
Material Cost Reduction: Enables precise, ultra-thin noble metal coating deposition, drastically reducing precious metal consumption per component compared to traditional wet-chemical methods.
Proprietary Uniformity: Equipped with AGC’s exclusive Online Shimmable Magnet Bar (iOSMB) technology, delivering unmatched coating uniformity across large surface areas to optimize production yields.
Enhanced Component Performance: Integrates automated substrate pre-cleaning and undercoat technology to maximize oxidation/corrosion resistance and lower ohmic resistance.
