Aflas® is a range of copolymer (tetrafluoroethylene and
propylene) and terpolymer (TFE, propylene & vinylidene fluoride)
fluoroelastomers.

Aflas® compounds are designed for applications requiring
good heat resistance, chemical resistance (particularly to bases
and amines) and electrical insulation properties. Typical applications
are in the automotive, wire and cable, off-shore, and chemical industry.
