Product Description

Spectracarb™ product line has been discontinued since 2020.

CAPLINQ has developed LINQCELL™ Carbon Fiber Paper GDL a better and more cost-effective alternative

 

Spectracarb™ 2050A Gas Diffusion Layer (GDL) sheets are sometimes called porous carbon gas diffusion layer. They are porous graphitized resin-bonded carbon fiber papers and multi-ply panels specifically designed for use in PEM, DMFC and PAFC fuel cells, Electrolyzers, Humidifiers and Other Electrochemical Devices.

Spectracarb 2050A Series Porous Graphitized Sheets and Panel

Spectracarb™ 2050A Porous Carbon Gas Diffusion Layer (GDL) sheets are porous graphitized resin-bonded carbon fiber papers and multi-ply panels specifically designed for use in PEM, DMFC and PAFC fuel cells, Electrolyzers, Humidifiers, and Other Electrochemical Devices

These products are optimized for the following properties:

  • Electrical Conductivity
  • Mechanical Strength and Durability
  • Gas/Air Permeability
  • Water Management

Spectracarb GDLs are produced in the USA and are available in a wide range of standard and custom grades, densities, sizes and materials for fuel cells, electrolyzers, humidifiers, specialty batteries and other electrochemical applications.
