| Description: AFLAS 150CS Latex is an alternating tetrafluoroethylene–propylene copolymer in an aqueous suspension. It is used as an elastomeric surface treatment of various substrates such as metals, ceramics, plastics, other elastomers, textiles, and paper. Classified by ASTM D 1418-01 as FEPM. Material Features: Heat Resistance*: Mechanical properties of AFLAS do not deteriorate even when used for prolonged exposure to 200°C. AFLAS can be used continuously for 2 to 3 months at 230°C and for 10-30 days at 260°C. - Chemical Resistance: Parts fabricated from AFLAS compounds perform well in the amine and base-rich environments commonly found in sour oil and gas exploration, completion and production. In automotive and heavy equipment applications, AFLAS stands up well to attack from amine-containing additives in oils and transmission fluids.
- Steam Resistance*: Unaffected by extended exposure to 200°C steam.
- Electrical Properties: Excellent volume resistivity (greater than 1016 O-cm) unmatched by other fluoroelastomers.
- Radiation Resistance*: Stable up to 200 MRad of gamma ray radiation.
End User Benefits: Improved flexibility - Excellent thermal and chemical stability
- Water and weather resistant
Typical Applications:Binder - Coating additives
- Surface modified parts
