VENA® PEM FUEL-2

VENA®PEM FUEL • Low degree of permeability to gases. FKM material has lower permeability values to hydrogen gas compared to silicones and some other elastomers. • Excellent resistance to thermal aging and oxidizing agents (oxygen, ozone, UV). • Good mechanical properties. • Excellent purity - extremely low extractables and volatile compounds content. • Cleaning protocol is applied to reduce the amount of environmental and production contaminants. Pharma-grade treatment. • Excellent chemical resistance. • Hoses are capped so that they can be delivered with the lower possible level of contaminants....
