AGC Chemicals Americas Inc. Introduces its AFLAS® 600X Fluoroelastomer Grade at the Offshore Technology Conference May 1‒4 in Houston, Texas, at Booth 4079. 

AFLAS 600X is a tetrafluoroethylene propylene (FEPM) material that offers performance and proces  sing advantages over BRE, FKMs and other AFLAS grades, making it ideal for molded products like durable packers, bladders, gaskets and O-rings.

Products made of AFLAS 600X last longer in the wet, high-pressure, amine- and base-rich environments of oil and gas recovery, and they do not deteriorate under prolonged exposure at 230 °C. In addition, the parts exhibit excellent electrical and thermal resistance.

AFLAS 600X also exhibits processing advantages over conventional FKMs and other AFLAS grades including superior mold release, higher cross-linking ability, superior hot tear strength and compression set, and a faster cure speed (4-10 hour post cure). AFLAS 600X does not require specific peroxides and is a white polymer material that can be easily colored.
