Sigracet 38 BC was discontinued and permanently replaced by Sigracet 36 BB. We are completely out of stock.
Sigracet 38 BC is a non-woven carbon paper with a Microporous Layer (MPL) that has been PTFE treated to 5 wt%. It has a total thickness of 325 um (microns). SGL 38 BC is a great low-cost alternative to conventional woven carbon paper Gas Diffusion Layer (GDL) materials.
The Sigracet Carbon Fiber Paper 38 Series is intended to combine the required production robustness and the excellent performance properties. Stack developers and assemblers are benefiting from the following greatly improved characteristics:
- Greatly improved homogeneity inter-lot and intra-lot. The overall variability has been shown to be better than +/- 10% (2 sigma)
- Greatly improved surface flatness
- Greatly reduced occurrence of faulty spots on a roll
- Best performance under various operating conditions
