FORBLUE™ S-SERIES Cation Exchange Membranes
Fluorinated membranes used for electrolysis or electrodialysis processes.
Cation exchange membranes with a sulfonic acid group
FORBLUE™ S-SERIES grades are fluorinated cation exchange membranes with a sulfonic acid group. All S-SERIES wet and dry grades ensure a robust chemical resistance because all materials that make up the membranes are made from fluorinated resins, including the reinforcing fabric. Different grades offer different ion exchange capacities from 1.0 to 1.25 meq/g. They are also used in the electrolytic production of high-purity lithium hydroxide. S-SERIES membranes deliver significant energy savings by minimizing electrical resistance and reducing the amount of electrical current required.
Lithium Production
With the global transition to clean energy, lithium is a cornerstone mineral for powering electric vehicles, energy storage systems and next-generation electronics. Meeting this rising demand requires efficient, scalable and environmentally responsible technologies. FORBLUE S-SERIES membranes can be used in the electrolytic production of high-purity lithium hydroxide to deliver:
- Exceptional chemical and thermal durability
- Low electrical resistance for improved energy efficiency
- High ion selectivity to enhance purity and yield
Markets
- High chemical resistance
- High cation selective permeability for effective electrolysis and electrodialysis processes
- High mechanical strength – reinforced by special PTFE fabric, easy to handle, and has high strength
- High ion exchange capacity - shows very low resistance with high ion selectivity
S-series membranes have been used in a wide variety of applications including:
