Graphite plate

for electrochemical applicationsextruded

Our extruded graphite bipolar plates also exhibit high corrosion resistance to various electrolytes. They impress with good mechanical strength without brittle fracture as well as very good liquid tightness. Another advantage of the thermoplastic material is that the flexible bipolar plate can be welded directly to the frame of the battery stack. This replaces conventional sealing solutions and ensures a very compact design. By optimizing our formulations, we can precisely match the electrical, mechanical and thermal properties. The thermoplastic-bonded high-performance material is transferred into a continuously produced film. This makes it possible to produce bipolar plates in large formats (> 1000 mm length and 380 mm width). The film can be given additional features by surface treatment and finishing. For fuel cells and stationary energy storage systems Regardless of whether our solutions are used as components in stationary or mobile fuel cells or in energy storage systems, our materials and manufacturing expertise offers you added value in a variety of ways. For example, after your inquiry and joint discussion of the technical possibilities, we can provide you with plate samples and prototypes. These can then be manufactured for you in small quantities as well as in high volumes. At Schunk, you can rely on our own compound production, continuous further development of materials and many years of experience - after all, our graphite bipolar plates have already proven themselves on the market for over 20 years and in hundreds of thousands of plates. In the field of stationary energy storage, our solutions achieve high system performance.
