AFLAS^® is the tradename for 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:

• excellent heat resistance with continuous service temperature capability of 230C,
• chemical resistance including resistance to strong acids and bases,
• high electrical resistivity, and
• excellent oil resistance.

AFLAS^® fluoropolymers must be formulated with fillers, curatives, and other other chemical 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.
