AGC Chemicals Americas Presents AFLA's Product Portfolio at ITB Conference in Michigan

AGC Chemicals America, a wholly-owned subsidiary of AGC Inc. and one of the world’s largest manufacturers of glass, electronic displays, and chemical products, will participate at the ITB Automotive Energy Storage Systems Conference, March 4-5 in Novi, Michigan.

AGC Chemicals America presentation will be focused on AFLAS® FEPM fluoroelastomer lamination technology for multilayer automotive hose constructions. The referred technology is ideal for use in high-pressure, high-temperature areas near the engine, where they are also exposed to NOx, SOx, engine oils or other aggressive automotive fluids.

AFLAS FEPM fluoroelastomers can withstand continuous service temperatures up to 200 °C and have excellent acid, base, amine and steam resistance. This new FEPM material can be laminated directly to dissimilar elastomers, without the need for a tie-layer or adhesive, to achieve a peel strength in excess of 7 N/in at elevated operating temperatures.
