Proven KOH Chemical Stability

IONZERA's polysulfone matrix with TiO2 and graphene oxide is specifically engineered for concentrated KOH environments, providing long-term chemical resistance in harsh alkaline conditions.

Ultra-Low Ionic Resistance

Area resistance of 0.09-0.1 ohm-cm2 in 30 wt% KOH reduces energy consumption in any alkaline electrochemical process, directly lowering operating costs.

Anti-Fouling Properties

Graphene oxide nanosheets and TiO2 photocatalytic activity provide inherent anti-fouling characteristics, extending membrane life in industrial electrochemical environments.

Mechanical Durability

Tensile strength of 2.7 MPa with adequate elongation at break ensures the membrane withstands the mechanical stresses of industrial-scale electrochemical cells.

Chlor-Alkali Process in Netherlands’s Hydrogen Market

The Netherlands is positioning itself as Europe's hydrogen gateway, with the Port of Rotterdam developing into a major hydrogen import and production hub. Dutch industrial clusters in chemicals, refining, and steel are among the first in Europe to commit to large-scale green hydrogen adoption. The proximity to the North Sea wind corridor further accelerates offshore wind-to-hydrogen projects.

For Dutch hydrogen projects centered around Rotterdam, IONZERA provides a cost-competitive alternative to the Belgian-produced Zirfon. With 3x lower resistance, IONZERA improves the economics of large-scale electrolysis projects crucial for the Netherlands' hydrogen hub ambitions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose IONZERA for chlor-alkali process in Netherlands?

IONZERA delivers 3x lower ionic resistance than Zirfon, making it ideal for chlor-alkali process applications in Netherlands. For Dutch hydrogen projects centered around Rotterdam, IONZERA provides a cost-competitive alternative to the Belgian-produced Zirfon.

Can IONZERA support large-scale Rotterdam hydrogen hub projects?

Yes. IONZERA is designed for both pilot and MW-scale AWE systems. Its 3x lower resistance improves stack efficiency at scale, and G-Hexa can supply volume quantities for large Dutch hydrogen infrastructure projects.

How does IONZERA compare to locally available Zirfon membranes?

IONZERA delivers 3x lower area resistance (0.09-0.1 vs 0.30 ohm-cm2), is 20% thinner (350-410 vs 500 um), and uses a mesh-free design vs Zirfon's PPS mesh reinforcement. These advantages translate to more efficient electrolysis at lower stack costs.
