ION POWER, INC.
WILMINGTON, DE, May 1, 2009 - World Trade Center Delaware is pleased to announce that Ion Power, Inc. has been chosen as the featured member for the month of May 2009.
Who: Ion Power, Inc.
Where: New Castle, Delaware
What:
Ion Power, Inc. is a leading manufacturer of membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) for fuel cell and water electrolyzer applications. Ion Power is a worldwide distributor of DuPont™ NAFION® perfluorosulfonic acid products in pellet, dispersion, and membrane forms.
Distinctiveness:
Ion Power's MEA manufacturing line fulfills the prototype and production requirements of today's growing PEM fuel cell and electrolyzer industry. So whether you need one or thousands of membrane electrode assemblies, contact Ion Power to discover how your application can "Turn On With Ion Power Catalyzed Membranes."
Ion Power is actively engaged in developing other products based on NAFION® PFSA material for a wide variety of industrial and military applications.
Products:
Catalyzed Fuel Cell Membranes: Ion Power was the first company to commercialize a Catalyzed Coated Membrane (CCM) made from cast film based on NAFION® PFSA polymer. Our patented process results in a durable and very cost effective CCM for use in hydrogen or reformate fuel cell applications. Our Catalyzed Coated Membranes offer the following advantages:
- 20 to 30 micron thick membrane component for high power density
- Membrane component containing the stable NAFION® ionomer resulting in long component life
- Unique fabrication method allows the perimeter area (outside of the active region) to be substituted with a strong material for sealing integrity, durability, and reduced cost
HYDRion™ Products: Catalyzed membranes for Water Elctrolysis applications based on NAFION® membranes. In addition to manufacturing Catalyzed Coated Membranes for fuel cells Ion Power is engaged in the production of catalyzed membranes for use in the electrolysis of water. These materials are used for laboratory gas generators and hydrogen injection systems for internal combustion engines.
LIQUION™ Products: LIQUION™ is a dispersion of NAFION® in a mixture of water and alcohols. This product is manufactured by Ion Power from NAFION® polymer. LIQUION™is available in 5% by weight solids and 15% by weight solids, low and high equivalent weight (EW) polymer.
NAFION® Products: NAFION® is a registered trademark of E.I. DuPont de Nemours brand of perfluorosulfonic acid/TFE copolymer. NAFION® polymer has excellent chemical stability (similar to TEFLON®) while at the same time allowing ion transport. These properties have led to interest in the use of NAFION® polymer for various electrochemical applications from industrial chloralkali cells to fuel.
