Teijin Solufill Limited produces Solufill a high porosity PE engineering film formerly made by a joint venture with DSM whose interests were bought out by Teijin. Solufill is filled with a special ceramic powder. Solufill was formerly used in the manufacture of bulk multilayer ceramic capacitors but in 2005 Teijin decided to withdraw from this application due to weakening electronic component prices and a worsening market environment. However, Solupor, a sister product is being supplied for use as a battery separator.

For use in portable electronics, the fuel cell products must be manufactured to fit similar battery form factors. To achieve these mechanical size limitations, fuel cells must be manufactured with materials that permit small features allowing fuel and airflows, electrical connections, and a membrane assembly. In addition, these materials must survive in high temperatures, acidic environments, and remain leak proof. Alumina ceramics have been demonstrated to perform with these requirements using standard multilayer manufacturing techniques employed widely by the semiconductor industry.
