AFLAS® is  a unique fluoroelastomer based upon an alternating copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and propylene (TFE/P). The elastomer, when properly formulated, can be used to fabricate o-rings, gaskets, seals, packings, and coatings possessing several unique  properties:

1. Excellent heat resistance with continuous service temperature capability of 230°C
2. Chemical resistance including resistance to strong acids and bases,
3. High electrical resistivity
4. Excellent oil resistance.

NOTE: AFLAS® fluoroelastomers must be formulated with fillers, curatives, and other other agents. Properly formulated and cured AFLAS® products deliver outstanding results in many operating environments. Results using AFLAS® fluoropolymers may vary depending upon the fabricator’s formulation, manufacturing process, and proper application to the operating environment.

Applications

Typical industrial applications for AFLAS include: oil and gas, food processing, nuclear power generation, marine development, chemical manufacturing/processing, automotive, electronics, machinery, hydraulics, and more.
