Fuel Cell Components
GRAFCELL® Flow Field Plates are made from expanded natural graphite. Through a proprietary manufacturing process, GRAFCELL materials retain a continuous graphite phase. This unique phase continuity, combined with an extremely low contact resistance, provides superior electrical and thermal properties in comparison to both synthetic graphite composite and metallic fuel cell components. Since the early 1990's, GRAFCELL technology has played a critical role in improving fuel cell power density and performance. With over two million kilometers of proven road experience in car and bus applications, GRAFCELL FFP SERIES continuous phase flow field plates have replaced synthetic graphite as the premier material for PEM fuel cells.
JEC Innovation Awards 2009: JEC Composites announces the new winners of the JEC Innovation Awards Program 2009 which will reward 8 companies this year, and their partners, on the JEC Composites Show (March 24th, 25th, 26th 2009). GrafTech jointly won this award, with Huntsman Corporation for our new high temperature bipolar plate materials (both high temperature PEM and phosphoric acid resistant variations). Full article.
