These fluoroelastomers enhance seal performance
This company offers AFLAS 100 series fluoroelastomers to enhance the performance and extend the life of pumps, seals and valves used in a variety of harsh processing applications. AFLAS fluoroelastomers — copolymers of tetrafluoroethylene and propylene with high molecular weights — are resistant to acids, bases, solvents, hydrocarbons, sour oil and amines, as well as to extreme temperature ranges and high-pressure environments. They are easily compounded by open mill and internal mixers. These compounds are then fabricated into finished parts and shapes using press molding, injection molding, extrusion (photo) and calendering processes. AFLAS 150P, 100S and 100H are FDA approved for food contact in the A-H temperature range. Classified by ASTM D 1418-01 as FEPM, AFLAS products do not deteriorate under prolonged exposure at 200°C. — AGC Chemicals Americas Inc., Exton, Pa.
