About the product

Buy extra gaskets for X-Cell with reference electrode, fitting current collectors with an integrated flow-field (2.5×2.5 cm or 5.0×5.0 cm). These are the flow-field gaskets – the flow-fields gaskets for each side are not similar, as they are not symmetric. Both designs are are needed as shown below, and should be combined with the cover gaskets.

The different flow field gaskets are shown below, for respectively 2.5×2.5 cm and 5.0×5.0 cm active area.

Gasket can be ordered individually, however, we also offer packs of gaskets with a volume discount. These pack includes gaskets with thicknesses that will allow testing and compression of almost any electrodes thicknesses. Typically the PTFE Thin Pack will be combined with one of the PTFE, VITON or EPDM Thick Packs.

PTFE Thick Pack includes

2 pieces – 0.5 mm PTFE
2 pieces – 1.0 mm PTFE
2 pieces – 2.0 mm PTFE

VITON Thick Pack includes

2 pieces – 0.5 mm VITON
2 pieces – 1 mm VITON
2 pieces – 2.0 mm VITON

EPDM Thick Pack includes

2 pieces – 0.5 mm EPDM
2 pieces – 1 mm EPDM
2 pieces – 2.0 mm EPDM

Gaskets are supplied in either PTFE, VITON or EPDM. VITON and EPDM is more flexible and will easily seal the cells, however, the minimum thickness of VITON/EPDM gaskets is 0.5 mm. PTFE gaskets are more rigid but comes in thicknesses down to 0.05 mm. Combination of several (both PTFE and Viton) gaskets can be done to ensure right electrode thickness/compression.

PTFE: Overall most corrosion resistant material and comes with thicknesses down to 0.05 mm. But rigid and less good sealing properties.

PTFEG: Glass Fiber reinforced PTFE – only available in 0.12 mm thickness. Great for cover gaskets in direct contact with flow-field current collectors.

VITON: Compressible that will make cell sealing easy. Redox-Flow recommends VITON (and PTFE) for Vanadium flow battery applications – please see a chemical compatibility chart of VITON for your specific application.

EPDM: Compressible that will make cell sealing easy. Redox-Flow recommends EPDM (and PTFE) for alkaline conditions – please see a chemical compatibility chart of EPDM for your specific application.
