The enterprise focuses on the research and development, production, and global sales of analog and digital systems, providing stable and reliable support for cooperative customers around the world with a diversified product matrix and customized technical services. According to publicly available business data, the overall revenue of Agfa Group reached 1.709 billion euros in 2020. Its strong corporate strength, mature production system, and global operation model fully confirm the brand's core competitiveness and industry influence in the international market.

As a multinational enterprise based globally, Agfa has a global production and research and development layout. The group headquarters is located in Moselle, Belgium, which is also the core production base and technology research and development center of the enterprise. To meet the global market supply demand and local service layout, Agfa has established standardized production factories in multiple locations around the world, covering areas such as Moselle and Holter in Belgium, Suzano in Brazil, Paitin, Paisenberg, Schlobenhausen, Wiesbaden in Germany, parks in the United States, and Mississauga in Canada. Relying on R&D centers and professional technical teams distributed globally, the enterprise continues to deepen its core technology fields such as polymer materials, electrochemical materials, and precision imaging materials, accumulating a vast amount of technical and practical application experience. At the same time, Agfa has always maintained an open cooperation concept, actively promoted technology sharing and external authorization services, and provided professional material research, technology breakthroughs, customized problem solutions and other services to various industries. With an open and win-win development model, it promotes the coordinated progress of the upstream and downstream industrial chains.

Hydrogen energy, with its unique advantages of zero carbon emissions, high energy density, and wide application scenarios, has become a core sector with development potential in the new energy field, and a key carrier for renewable energy consumption and storage utilization. Whether it is large-scale industrial hydrogen production, supporting new energy storage, fuel cell applications, chemical raw material substitution, or clean energy upgrading in the transportation sector, hydrogen energy has irreplaceable value. The broad market prospects also make hydrogen energy technology a high-quality track for global enterprises and capital to focus on. In order to promote the standardized and large-scale development of the European hydrogen energy industry, Agfa has officially joined the Hydrogen Europe European Hydrogen Association. It collaborates deeply with major hydrogen energy industry enterprises, industry associations, and professional research centers in Europe, jointly participating in hydrogen energy technology research and development, industry standard setting, and application scenario exploration. With the responsibility of a leading enterprise, Agfa aims to contribute to the healthy and orderly development of the global hydrogen energy industry.

Agfa accurately grasps the development trend of the industry, relying on its own advantages in polymer material research and development, and has launched a new generation of ZIRFON UTP 220 high-performance alkaline electrolysis membrane, targeting the industry pain points of high energy consumption, poor equipment stability, and short consumable life in green hydrogen production processes, providing core material support for global hydrogen production projects to reduce production costs and improve operational efficiency. The ZIRFON series, Agfa brand, and diamond logo are all legally registered trademarks of Agfa Gevaert NV and its affiliated enterprises in Belgium. Strict production standards and quality control systems ensure the stability and uniformity of performance and quality of each product.

AGFA ZIRFON UTP 220 diaphragm is a functional membrane material specially designed for advanced alkaline electrolysis scenarios. With excellent comprehensive performance, it has been widely recognized by global electrolytic cell manufacturing enterprises and large-scale hydrogen production project investors. The professional report released by the Fraunhofer Institute clearly states that alkaline electrolysis equipment equipped with AGFA ZIRFON series membranes can significantly improve electrolysis reaction efficiency, making alkaline electrolysis AEL technology the most comprehensive green hydrogen production technology at present. This diaphragm combines multiple advantages such as productivity, environmental adaptability, ultra-low operating energy consumption, green safety, and ultra long durability, with a comprehensive cost-effectiveness of similar products.

In actual operation, the ZIRFON UTP 220 diaphragm has adaptability to working conditions and is not affected by changes in parameters such as temperature, electrolyte alkalinity, and operating load. The overall operation stability of the equipment can adapt to complex dynamic working conditions such as continuous operation, intermittent start stop, and load fluctuations for a long time. The material itself has a unique ion conductive structure, excellent ion conductivity, and pressure resistance, which can support stable electrolysis operations at high current densities, effectively reducing power consumption during the electrolysis process and controlling the long-term operating costs of hydrogen production projects from the source. The product adopts an asbestos free and environmentally friendly formula, which complies with global environmental policies. Currently, 55 countries worldwide have completely banned the use of asbestos materials. The asbestos free design can comply with environmental regulations and project acceptance standards in various countries, avoiding policy risks.

In terms of durability, ZIRFON UTP 220 adopts special fabric reinforced structural design and low shrinkage special polymer base material, with outstanding deformation resistance, corrosion resistance and aging resistance. The surface of the material has lifelong hydrophilicity, without the need to add additional surfactants, reducing the later maintenance costs and consumables input. In a normalized industrial operating environment, the stable service life of the product can reach more than ten years, significantly reducing equipment replacement frequency and overall project operation and maintenance investment. At the same time, the diaphragm has system neutral characteristics, and its performance advantages are not limited by the type of electrolyte, operating mode, or equipment parameter adjustments. It is compatible with all types of alkaline electrolytic cell equipment and is compatible.

In addition to ZIRFON UTP 220, Agfa has also laid out a hydrogen energy separator product matrix, including multiple models such as ZIRFON PERL UTP 500 and ZIRFON UTP 500+, which can cover diversified application scenarios such as small and medium-sized distributed hydrogen production, large-scale green hydrogen projects, fuel cell matching, and energy storage batteries. At the same time, the ZIRFON series proton exchange membrane is widely used in electrochemistry, new energy batteries, gas isolation, ion transport and other fields. With high temperature stability, high pressure tolerance, excellent conductivity, chemical stability and easy processing characteristics, it is known as a multifunctional core material in the field of electrochemistry. Relying on a century old brand accumulation, top-notch material technology, and an after-sales service system, the Belgian AGFA ZIRFON UTP 220 diaphragm continues to empower the global energy transition and become a core key material for promoting the industrialization of green hydrogen.
