AFLAS MZ is a terpolymer composed of tetrafluoroethylene, propylene and vinylidene

fluoride. AFLAS MZ offers a good balance of chemical resistance and improved low
temperature performance and is categorized in ASTM D 1418-01 as class FKM, type four.

AFLAS 100/150 fluoroelastomers are alternating copolymers of tetrafluoroethylene and

propylene. They offer 1) excellent heat resistance, 2) exceptional chemical resistance
especially to bases and amines, and 3) high electrical resistivity. AFLAS 100/150 are
categorized by ASTM D 1418-01 as class FEPM.

APPLICATIONS
AFLAS is widely used in various applications
such as seals and gaskets, hoses and tubes,
electrical insulations, etc. Important industries
served include:
1.Automotive
2.Oil and Gas Exploration and Completions
3.Chemical Process Industries
4.Food Processing and Pharmaceutical
5.Wire & Cable
