E-9 Hydrogen Permeable Films

TANAKA has succeeded in developing an ultra-high purification process for hydrogen gas.
Palladium is the only metal that has hydrogen permselectivity. TANAKA has succeeded in developing a purification process for hydrogen gas that exploits this permselectivity. With our ultra-thin film processing technology and high purification technology, we are able to offer highly reliable hydrogen permeable films with maximum hydrogen permeability. Our hydrogen permeable films are available in rolled foil and pipe materials.
Applications
High-purity hydrogen gas purifiers, steam reforming based hydrogen production units, etc.
