Rapid advances in fuel cell technology has wide ranging implications for renewable energy and the elimination of greenhouse gases. As these products become more economical their advantages over conventional power sources becomes even more pronounced. They allow quiet operation, higher efficiency conversion (than gas or diesel engines), easy maintenance, limit global warming, are not impacted by weather and do not effect wildlife.
Master Bond has been in the forefront in developing adhesives and sealants to meet the varied needs of fuel cell manufacturing companies. Important studies have been made in chemical resistant properties and tensile/shear/impact resistance in metal and plastic bonding applications. These products are designed to meet the special performance requirements for both stationary and portable fuel cells. Additionally, sealants that prevent air leakage and moisture penetration have played a crucial role in the introduction of new systems with enhanced capabilities.
