Reliable Reducing Atmosphere Supply
Float glass tin baths operate 24/7 and cannot tolerate hydrogen supply interruptions. On-site electrolysis with IONZERA membranes ensures continuous, demand-matched H2 generation.
Lower Per-Unit H2 Cost
IONZERA's 3x lower area resistance reduces the electricity cost of on-site hydrogen generation compared to less efficient electrolyser membranes.
Decarbonize Glass Production
Replacing delivered fossil-derived hydrogen with renewable-powered on-site electrolysis reduces the carbon footprint of glass manufacturing.
Glass Manufacturing in Belgium’s Hydrogen Market
Belgium plays a strategic role in Europe's hydrogen landscape, both as a technology hub and transit corridor. The port of Antwerp is a major chemical and refining cluster with significant hydrogen demand. Belgium is also home to Zirfon manufacturing, making it a natural market for demonstrating IONZERA's superior performance credentials.
In Zirfon's home market, IONZERA offers a compelling technical alternative with 3x lower area resistance. Belgian electrolyser developers and research institutions can directly benchmark IONZERA against the incumbent, validating the performance improvements in their own testing environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose IONZERA for glass manufacturing in Belgium?
IONZERA delivers 3x lower ionic resistance than Zirfon, making it ideal for glass manufacturing applications in Belgium. In Zirfon's home market, IONZERA offers a compelling technical alternative with 3x lower area resistance.
Why consider IONZERA when Zirfon is produced locally in Belgium?
IONZERA delivers 3x lower area resistance than Zirfon PERL UTP 500, enabling significantly more efficient electrolysis. For Belgian projects prioritizing performance and competitive TCO, IONZERA provides measurable advantages even accounting for shipping from India.
Can IONZERA be tested alongside Zirfon in the same electrolyser?
Yes. IONZERA is designed as a drop-in replacement for Zirfon in standard AWE stacks. It operates in the same 30 wt% KOH electrolyte at up to 45 degrees C, enabling direct side-by-side performance comparison.
