Safety and regulations in the hydrogen world<\/h2>\n

Hydrogen is a highly flammable and reactive gas, which presents specific safety challenges.
\nThe safe handling of hydrogen requires the adoption of stringent regulations that cover the entire lifecycle of hydrogen, from production to storage to transportation and end use.
\nInternational standards, such as those of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), set specific standards for the safe handling of hydrogen, including the design of storage systems, refueling procedures, and requirements for materials used in these applications.
\nRegulatory authorities, such as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in the United States and the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work, work to ensure that industrial practices comply with these regulations, reducing accident risks and improving overall safety.
\nA major concern is the prevention of explosions, which can occur when hydrogen comes into contact with oxygen in the presence of a spark.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n

Hydrogen-safe lubricants.<\/h2>\n

Lubricants used in hydrogen-rich environments must have specific characteristics to ensure safety and efficiency.
\nGeneral lubricants can react with hydrogen, increasing the risk of fire and explosion.
\nTherefore, hydrogen-safe lubricants are formulated to be chemically stable and resistant to high pressures and temperatures.
\nDupont’s Molykote\u00ae lubricants, for example, are designed for hydrogen contact applications and offer numerous advantages.
\nThese include high thermal stability and resistance to oxidation, which is essential for operating in extreme conditions ranging from -70\u00b0C to over 300\u00b0C.
\nThey also offer excellent compatibility with plastics and elastomeric materials, minimizing wear and extending the life of critical components.
