Arlon 3160XT is a glass-reinforced, cross-linked PEEK material designed to address material challenges in hydrogen applications. It is engineered to improve performance and reliability in fuel cells, electrolyzers, and valve components in hydrogen systems.
Building upon Greene Tweed's Arlon 3000XT platform, Arlon 3160XT withstands extreme conditions associated with hydrogen production and distribution, providing solutions that enhance production efficiency while reducing operational costs. It offers creep resistance and electrical insulation properties for long-term durability and operational lifespan in hydrogen applications.
Features:
20x+ creep resistance improvement compared to non-cross-linked, glass-filled PEEK
30 to 70% improved performance in short-term elevated temperature conditions over standard glass PEEK materials
Maintains electrical insulation properties, resisting degradation in electrochemical cells
Enhanced flame resistance with improved structural integrity post-exposure
Higher glass transition allows higher effective use temperature
