KnitMesh Technologies’ Porous Transport Layers have established themselves as an integral component within electrochemical applications such as proton exchange membranes (PEM), ion exchange membranes (IEM), and alkaline zero-gap electrolyser systems. This innovative product has not only redefined the standards for porous transport layers but also has paved the way for enhanced efficiency and durability in these demanding environments.

Constructed from knitted wire mesh that is then compressed, KnitMesh Technologies’ Porous Transport Layers allow for the seamless flow of liquids, gases, and particles while providing essential structural support. Not only do they offer flexibility and robustness, but they also exhibit remarkable resilience, effectively eliminating compressibility losses through load-cycling.

One of the key advantages offered by KnitMesh Technologies’ Porous Transport Layers is their ability to alleviate electrical contact resistance by optimising electrical and pressure contact between various components such as cells, divider stacker plates, membranes, and diaphragms in electrolysis cell stacks and modular cell cartridges. This leads to improved overall performance and reliability within electrochemical systems.

Moreover, these porous transport layers boast exceptional corrosion resistance, making them capable of withstanding rigorous operating conditions including elevated temperatures, pressures, and exposure to caustic electrolyte solutions such as potassium hydroxide.

To further accentuate their versatility, KnitMesh Technologies’ Porous Transport Layers are available in a wide array of shapes, with porosity levels ranging anywhere from 50% to 99%, thus catering to the diverse requirements of different applications.
