Heraeus Precious Metals introduces new brand for hydrogen systems

To achieve the ambitious goals set by policymakers and society, the hydrogen economy needs holistic solutions from a single source. The products and services of the Actydon family meet all customer needs. This starts with ensuring the supply of precious metals, some of which are in short supply, for use in the comprehensive range of precious metal-based products for electrolysers and fuel cells. The various recycling solutions complete the brand, so that customers receive all the components – procurement, product and recycling – from a single source and under a common brand.

Actydon is divided into a total of four product families. Actydon | Platinum includes platinum catalysts, which are used primarily in the electrodes of PEM electrolysers and PEM fuel cells and are also used in other fuel cell and electrolyser technologies. In Actydon | Iridiumand Actydon | Ruthenium, the corresponding iridium and ruthenium solutions are combined, including the particularly innovative catalyst solutions with low iridium content. Actydon | Loop represents the recycling family of the portfolio and includes the recycling of precious metals as well as the recycling of entire stacks. In the future, Heraeus Precious Metals will use Actydon to combine and further expand its high-tech solutions for hydrogen production and use.

“For the rapidly growing hydrogen economy, we needed a flexible system that allows us to easily categorise our extensive portfolio for our customers and that can grow with the still young industry. With Actydon, we are well positioned to support our customers in achieving their goals,” explained Dr. Julia Keck, Head of Product Management at Business Line Hydrogen Systems.

The introduction of Actydon is the logical next step following the rapid development of the hydrogen business at Heraeus Precious Metals. The division, which started as an R&D project, developed and expanded continuously through investments in research facilities, production lines and recycling capacities in China, Germany and the US. At the beginning of 2024, Heraeus Precious Metals created a central point of contact for its customers in the hydrogen economy by establishing a dedicated Hydrogen Systems Business Line. The new product brand is the next step in implementing the strategy of the hydrogen division.
