Sealing solutions for Hydrogen

Hydrogen is a key energy for the energy transition, producing only water and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It can be produced from renewable sources, guaranteeing its long-term availability.

We recognized hydrogen’s potential as early as 1911, when we developed envelopes for the Astra-Torrès hydrogen airships. This early vision enabled us to position ourselves as a serious and innovative player in this rapidly expanding market. Today, Hutchinson is committed to developing sealing solutions tailored to the specific requirements of hydrogen.

Our expertise covers the entire hydrogen process, from production, where we design robust solutions for electrolyzers, to storage, with sealing systems guaranteeing tank safety. We are also involved in transportation, developing components capable of withstanding extreme conditions, while ensuring efficient distribution of hydrogen to end-users. For its use, we offer solutions for fuel cell systems, guaranteeing optimal fluid separation and reliable performance.

Thanks to our expertise in polymer materials and our capacity for innovation, we are actively contributing to the development of hydrogen, reinforcing our role as a key player in this promising field and affirming our commitment to the energy transition.
