AvCarb\u2019s Molded Graphite Laminates (MGL) are uniformly molded rigid graphite sheets that offer superior performance in harsh electrochemical environments found in electrolyzers and fuel cell systems. Our MGLs have high mechanical strength that is ideal for high pressure operation or spanning wide channels, excellent corrosion resistance to handle harsh operating environments, high thermal and electrical conductivity for high operational efficiency, and are lightweight making them ideal for portable electrochemical systems. The uniform pore structure and thickness of our MGL panels provide consistent compression accounting for differences in thickness tolerances on other system parts, such as bipolar plates or other electrodes, thereby enabling high process yields providing a cost-effective solution for many systems.<\/h6><\/header>[\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row kd_background_image_position=”vc_row-bg-position-top” css=”.vc_custom_1695651419936{padding-top: 35px !important;padding-bottom: 40px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″]

MGL Advantages over other carbon papers:<\/h4>

\u2713 Lower Electrical Resistivity
\n\u2713 Higher Flexural Strength
\n\u2713 Improved Thickness Uniformity
\n\u2713 Higher purity \/ Improved Durability
\n\u2713 Product made in the USA<\/h6><\/header>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″]

Why AvCarb MGL for Electrolyzers:<\/h4>

\u2713 Carbon paper is compliant to handle stack component tolerances.
\n\u2713 Carbon paper is much lower cost than Ti on the cathode side (3-10x less).
\n\u2713 Carbon is resilient in harsh conditions, does not need coatings for durability.
\n\u2713 Eliminates the need for a flow field in a PEM electrolyzer system.
\n\u2713 Enables high pressure operation.<\/h6><\/header>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row kd_background_image_position=”vc_row-bg-position-top” css=”.vc_custom_1695655519834{margin-bottom: 50px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner kd_background_image_position=”vc_row-bg-position-top”][vc_column_inner][vc_wp_text]\n
