Impact Coatings Meets Japan’s NEDO Standard for PEM Fuel Cells

Linköping, Sweden – Impact Coatings today announced that its Premium FC coating for PEM fuel cell bipolar plates has successfully met Japan’s national NEDO test standard, with both verified test results and confirmation from a first Japanese customer. The company is collaborating with multiple paying customers in Japan to qualify Premium FC for mobility as well as stationary PEM fuel cell applications. Sample deliveries and customer testing have been ongoing throughout 2025.

NEDO – New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization – is a national research and development agency that creates innovation by promoting technological development necessary for realization of a sustainable society. Its Evaluation and Analysis Protocol for PEM fuel cells is widely used by Japanese automotive OEMs and fuel cell system suppliers.

Premium FC is Impact Coatings’ advanced coating solution engineered for heavy-duty PEM fuel cell applications. Over the course of the year, a variant of Premium FC was also developed for passenger cars. The coatings are currently available through the company’s Coating Service Centers in Shanghai, China, and Linköping, Sweden, as well as integrated coating solutions with the company’s INLINECOATER™ IC2000 PVD equipment for high-volume production.
