Description: AFLAS® Fluoroelastomers are copolymers of tetrafluoroethylene and propylene. This combination gives AFLAS® Fluoroelastomers unique properties over conventional FKM-type fluoroelastomers in demanding applications found in the oil & gas, chemical process, wire & cable, industrial equipment, food handling, pharmaceutical, heavy duty diesel and automotive industries. AFLAS Fluoroelastomers display outstanding resistance to heat, acids & bases, many solvents, ozone, and steam. Classified by ASTM D 1418-01 as FEPM. Material Features: Excellent base and amine resistance unmatched by FKM-type fluoroelastomers - Extremely high electrical resistivity, compared with other elastomers
- High heat resistance compared to FKMs
- Outstanding steam resistance
- Low viscosity
- Excellent elongation
End User Benefits: Excellent processing for extrusion - Compression / transfer molding are also applicable
Typical Applications: Wire insulator - Cable jacket
- Hoses, tubes
- Sheets
