This year, we have tackled many issues and worked tirelessly. With standard products whose quality you can trust. Solutions you can rely on. Innovations that drive progress.

In more than 30 TAR projects, in which we tested 15,000 flange connections and documented 1,300 findings. With 150,000 lot-tracked goods movements, 2.5 million gaskets in stock, 400 tons of raw materials and 200 different material grades, we deliver supply chain efficiency and reliability.

Whether it's PFAS regulation or carbon-neutral operations, 2024 has shown that progress and sustainability must go hand in hand. From alternative materials to transparent climate strategies, we work with you to develop solutions that last. These issues will continue to shape 2025.

Here are our latest technical articles on trending topics. 

Oxygen: The Underestimated Element#

In this technical article, Norman Richter, from the Applications Engineering and Product Development department at IDT, takes a closer look at oxygen, a byproduct of hydrogen electrolysis.

Oxygen poses a high risk to the safe operation of systems. This article shows how innovative solutions, such as LE-Safe gaskets can help to minimize risk while maintaining efficiency and safety in oxygen-carrying systems.

Find out why it's important not to underestimate oxygen when designing and operating hydrogen-related systems and how innovations can ensure safe use.
