Dymax expands core market focus to energy sector 11 September 2024

Dymax, a leading manufacturer of rapid curing materials and equipment, has announced a curated lineup of light-curable adhesives and coatings designed to meet the complex assembly needs of stationary energy storage systems such as industrial gas turbines (IGTs) and various types of fuel cells and electrolysers including Solid Oxide (SOFC) and Proton Exchange Membrane (PEMFC).

Manufacturers and assemblers of energy systems often face challenges related to durability, efficiency and safe operation under diverse and demanding conditions. Dymax's adhesives, coatings, encapsulants, sealants and maskants are designed to address assembly and end product performance obstacles in energy applications.  

The materials cure quickly under light exposure, facilitating faster production speeds, which is important for high-volume manufacturing. They also provide strong adhesion and are suitable for various substrates used in energy system components, including metals and advanced composites.

"Dymax continues to innovate in the field of light curable materials, focusing on the specific needs of energy system manufacturers," says Virginia Hogan, business development manager at Dymax. "Our products are developed with an in-depth understanding of the challenges in this sector, ensuring that they not only simplify the assembly process but also enhance the operational effectiveness and longevity of the systems."

These light-curable materials also support sustainability initiatives by reducing energy use during curing and eliminating the need for solvents, thus minimising the environmental impact of traditional manufacturing processes.
