FOR SAFE AND RELIABLE H2 STORAGE

VESTAMID® IN TYPE IV TANK LINERS

VESTAMID® is the ideal material for hydrogen storage applications due to its exceptional mechanical properties and excellent resistance to highpressure gases.

With VESTAMID®, large dimensions of 2m and larger are possible, making it a versatile choice for both mobility/utility and stationary tanks. VESTAMID® in a full system can easily withstand 700bar pressurized gas, making it the best choice for hydrogen storage. VESTAMID® can be processed by blowmolding, rotomolding and extrusion offering a maximum flexibility in manufacturing.

BENEFITS 

Evonik’s VESTAMID® PA12 thermoplastic solutions provide a wide range of benefits and the right balance of performance and simplicity in processing:

  • very low moisture uptake
  • exceptional dimensional and mechanical stability in humidity and wide temperature range
  • easy adaption to standard Polyolefin equipment
  • easy processability in either production method (full scale verified)
  • high availability

For your next generation Hydrogen Type IV tank liner requirements specific grades offer:

  • processability to large dimension liners
  • non-plasticized to avoid contamination of H2
  • high quality surfaces
  • exceptional low H2 permeation (CSA ANSI compliant)
  • high stiffness in composite winding without drying
  • boss integration with industry established methods
  • processability w/o vacuum or air possible (Rotomolding)
  • no H2 blistering

We have easy processable solutions for roto-molding, blow-molding, extrusion and injection molding.
