Solutions for the Automotive Industry

Ballard Power Systems has worked with Clayborn Lab for many years and we have come to respect their engineering and design capability. We have used Clayborn heat tape and heated hoses in our hydrogen fuel cell research and development work. The thermal solutions that the Clayborn engineers have designed for us have been a real asset in the commercialization of fuel cell products.
