Insights
The successful ISO 14687:2019 certification of MOLYKOTE® HP-300 grease represents a crucial technical advancement in hydrogen infrastructure development. The grease's ability to maintain stability at 700 bar pressure while preventing hydrogen contamination down to parts per billion levels is technically impressive. Most conventional lubricants struggle with hydrogen embrittlement and contamination issues, making this achievement particularly notable.
For a simpler explanation: Imagine trying to keep a glass of pure water clean - even a single drop of dirt can contaminate it. Similarly, hydrogen fuel needs to be extremely pure to work properly in fuel cells. This grease acts like a special container that doesn't leak any impurities into the hydrogen, which is very hard to achieve.
From an industrial perspective, the -40°C performance capability and broad material compatibility significantly enhance the product's commercial viability across the hydrogen value chain. This could accelerate the deployment of hydrogen refueling infrastructure, particularly in cold-climate regions where traditional lubricants often fail.
While this product development is positive, its immediate financial impact on DuPont's
Think of this like getting a head start in a race that's about to begin - DuPont now has a certified product ready just as the hydrogen market is taking off. This early-mover advantage could translate into significant revenue streams as hydrogen adoption accelerates globally.
The key differentiator is the ISO 14687:2019 certification, which provides DuPont with a competitive edge in an increasingly regulated market. This could lead to preferred supplier status with major hydrogen infrastructure developers and OEMs, potentially securing long-term supply contracts.
In collaboration with HyCentA Research GmbH, MOLYKOTE® developed an innovative lubricant testing protocol aligned with these standards. The grease underwent several weeks of exposure to hydrogen at a pressure of 700 bar, followed by a hydrogen gas and particle contamination analysis. The results showed MOLYKOTE® HP-300 did not significantly contaminate hydrogen, ensuring compatibility with critical hydrogen applications such as fuel cell stacks. This achievement marks a significant step forward in advancing hydrogen technologies.
Pure hydrogen can be easily contaminated by any material with which it comes into contact, including lubricants. This necessitates critical testing to ensure purity for safety and performance. For hydrogen grades used in transportation applications, certain impurities with concentrations even as low as 4 parts per billion have the potential to compromise the integrity of the fuel cell. This rigorous assessment supports MOLYKOTE® HP-300 as a potential lubricant solution for hydrogen-exposed components in applications such seal and threaded connections, reducing contamination risk while maintaining the integrity of critical parts. The grease's performance in extreme conditions helps to support safe and reliable hydrogen storage and transportation and use of hydrogen as a next generation fuel.
In addition to its ability to help maintain hydrogen purity, MOLYKOTE® HP-300 helps to enable resistance against hydrogen and many chemicals while providing excellent low temperature (-40 °C) performance, critical for applications such as vehicle refueling. It does not support hydrogen embrittlement and is compatible with a wide range of substrates including most elastomers and plastics.
By reducing the risk of contamination in hydrogen systems, DuPont is helping to advance cleaner energy solutions. MOLYKOTE® HP-300 grease is a well-suited solution that meets the stringent demands of the hydrogen energy industry.
