Description
Overview
30-A4GE and 30-A6P are thick carbon paper gas diffusion layer (GDL) materials designed for PEM fuel cells, water electrolyzers and related hydrogen energy systems. Belonging to the same thick carbon paper family, these grades provide higher thickness, increased basis weight and improved structural support for applications requiring stronger mechanical stability and reliable gas transport performance. Within this series, 30-A4GE offers lower electrical resistance, while 30-A6P provides a heavier and thicker structure for applications that require additional rigidity and handling strength.
Key Features
- Thick carbon paper GDL for PEM fuel cells and water electrolyzers
- Available in two grades: 30-A4GE and 30-A6P
- Typical thickness range of 285–320 µm
- Higher basis weight and stronger bending stiffness compared with thinner carbon paper grades
- Reliable conductive performance for stack integration and component matching
- Suitable for laboratory testing, pilot-scale evaluation and industrial hydrogen applications
