Leak prevention throughout the entire hydrogen production and distribution life cycle

Hydrogen provides a useful means to store and transport energy. Hydrogen in its pure molecular form (H₂) is rare on our planet and therefore must be produced, either from water by electrolysis or from natural gas and coal. Under certain conditions which depend on the way it is produced, hydrogen can be a sustainable energy solution and can substitute or replace energy sources that have a greater impact on the environment.

Anaerobic adhesives and sealants are well placed to offer a sealing solution for hydrogen gas. They are reactive adhesives that cure rapidly to a thermoset plastic when in contact with metal surfaces in the absence of air.

Key insights

Anaerobic thread sealants and thread sealing cord prevent hydrogen leakage in threaded fittings
Anaerobic curing thread sealants sealed hydrogen gas to a pressure of 31 bar (450 psi) on NPT and BSPT fittings
LOCTITE solutions presented have been tested and certified by Kiwa for hydrogen sealing applications
Anaerobic thread sealants prevent self-loosing of threaded connections
