As hydrogen energy scales globally, specialized sealing solutions are essential for safe, efficient operations throughout the hydrogen lifecycle. Omniseal Solutions manufactures advanced metal and polymer seals engineered for hydrogen production (PEM electrolysis, alkaline electrolysis, and hydrogen from hydrocarbons), hydrogen transport and storage systems, and critical hydrogen applications including fuel cell mobility LH2 pumps, high-pressure compressors, refueling station components, and hydrogen-electric turbines. Our hydrogen-compatible sealing technologie,s address the unique challenges of hydrogen embrittlement, extreme pressures, cryogenic temperatures, and hydrogen's permeation properties. Explore the infographic below to see how Omniseal Solutions supports the hydrogen economy from electrolyzer manufacturing to end-use applications across industrial, energy, and transportation sectors.
Hydrogen is the smallest molecule in the universe, which creates unique sealing challenges including hydrogen permeation, embrittlement, rapid gas depressurization, and operation at extreme pressures (up to 110 MPa) and temperatures ranging from cryogenic (-253°C) to high heat (300°F).
Omniseal Solutions' gaskets are designed to handle low hydrogen permeability, high chemical resistance to corrosive electrolytes including KOH solutions, stable creep resistance over time, and the ability to withstand temperature cycles and electrical loads.
Omniseal Solutions has conducted extensive testing to develop sealing solutions that address challenging applications at extreme pressures up to 110 MPa (approximately 1,100 bar) in hydrogen gas.
Omniseal Solution's proprietary fluoropolymer material formulations have been tested in both hydrogen gas and liquid, with hydrogen gas permeation and diffusion characterized by third-party testing, and resistance to rapid hydrogen gas depressurization validated externally.
Together with customers, we have achieved multiple energy "firsts" including seals in the world's first subsea gas compression system, qualifying seals in the world's first Liquefied Hydrogen loading arm in Kobe, Japan, and collaborating on "Northern Lights," the world's first cross-border and open-source CO₂ transport and storage infrastructure network.
