E-620(K) Cation Exchange Membrane

Price range: 20.00 € through 65.00 €

Fumatech E-620 (K) ultra-thin cation exchange membrane with full pH stability (0–14), very low resistance, and exceptional dimensional stability — suited for a broad range of electrochemical applications including flow batteries.

About the product

The E-620 (K) is a 20 µm non-reinforced cation exchange membrane from Fumatech, offering very low area resistance (<1.0 Ω·cm²), high selectivity (>96%), and full pH stability across the entire range of 0–14. Its extremely low dimensional swelling (<3% in water) makes it exceptionally stable under varying electrolyte conditions.

At just 17–23 µm, it is the thinnest membrane in the range, delivered in K⁺ form and stabilised with PEG to prevent embrittlement during dry storage. Before use, simply soak in DI water or the application solution to remove the PEG additive. Note that once hydrated, the membrane should not be allowed to dry out as this may cause micro-cracks.

Operating temperature range is 15–40°C. The burst test >3 bar and Young’s modulus >600 MPa confirm reliable mechanical integrity despite the ultra-thin profile.

Main application area: Organic redox flow batteries (ORFB)

 


 
To suit your specific research needs, we provide membranes in several formats:
  • Standard Sheets: 12.5 x 12.5 cm and 20 x 30 cm sheets for custom cutting.
  • Pre-Cut for Our Cells:
    • Cut w. alignment holes: For all our single cell test hardware.
    • Cut for X-Stack: Perfectly sized for our X-Stack electrolyser.
    • Cut for S-Stack: Designed for our S-Stack flow battery.
    • Cut with manifold holes: For our 3 and 4-compartment X-Cell.

For other dimensions or specific cut-outs, please make an inquiry. We are happy to provide custom solutions for your project.
