AFLAS® FEPM
AGC Chemicals Europe has developed AFLAS® FEPM grades intended for a new lamination technology for multi-layer hose constructions. These are ideal for use in high-pressure, high-temperature areas around engines where hoses are exposed to nitrogen dioxide (NOx), sulphur dioxide (Sox), engine oils, or other aggressive automotive fluids.
Features

- Chemical resistance (non-polar solvents)
- Steam resistance
- Low temperature properties
- Gas barrier properties
- Low outgassing
Applications
- O-Rings and gaskets
- Manufacture of liquid crystal and semi-conductors
- Wire and cable
- Automotive oil seals
