Continental develops a synthetic rubber to reduce hydrogen ion leakage

Continental has developed a line for cooling in the hydrogen powertrain of commercial vehicles, which considerably reduces the penetration of ions into the media circuit. The synthetic rubber line has a mixture of materials whose special properties make them less susceptible to the leaching of ions from the line material. This reduces the transfer of ions into the cooling circuit of hydrogen drive systems. The material experts from the group sector ContiTech have solved one of today’s greatest challenges in the industrialization of this still least common alternative form of drive system. The product innovation increases the service life of vehicle components in hydrogen drive systems.
