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 Rotterdam

Rotterdam is developing into Europe's premier hydrogen hub, with the port authority investing in hydrogen import terminals, pipeline infrastructure, and large-scale electrolysis. The city's refinery and chemical cluster, combined with North Sea offshore wind, positions Rotterdam at the center of European hydrogen trade and production.

For Rotterdam's world-scale hydrogen ambitions, IONZERA provides a performance leap over the locally available Zirfon from neighboring Belgium. With 3x lower resistance, IONZERA improves the economics of the massive electrolysis capacity planned for the Rotterdam port area.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get IONZERA chlor-alkali process membranes in Rotterdam?

Yes. G-Hexa ships IONZERA membranes to Rotterdam, Netherlands. Air freight from India in 5-7 business days

Why use IONZERA for chlor-alkali process in Rotterdam?

IONZERA delivers 3x lower ionic resistance than Zirfon, reducing cell voltage and electricity costs for chlor-alkali process applications. For Rotterdam's world-scale hydrogen ambitions, IONZERA provides a performance leap over the locally available Zirfon from neighboring Belgium.

How does IONZERA compare to locally sourced Zirfon for Rotterdam projects?

IONZERA delivers 3x lower area resistance (0.09-0.1 vs 0.30 ohm-cm2), is 20% thinner, and uses mesh-free architecture. These performance advantages outweigh Zirfon's geographic proximity to Rotterdam.
