New Ultra-Clean AFLAS FFKM Fluoroelastomers with Higher Heat Resistance for Semiconductor Plasma Process Applications

We recently added AFLAS® FFKM PM-5000 and PM-5500 grades to our line of fluoroelastomers. These perfluorinated elastomer grades meet the unique demands of semiconductor applications because they have high temperature durability, a high molecular weight and excellent resistance to O2 and NF3 plasma. These new grades build on the high-performance properties of other AFLAS FFKMs….

Fluoroelastomer Rubber Produces Superior and Environmentally-Safe Seals When Bonded with Waterborne Adhesives

In this blog post, we will be discussing the use of fluoroelastomer rubbers as an option for creating rubber parts and components. These parts, such as shafts, cylinder head gaskets, oil seals, and packer elements, are crucial in protecting sensitive equipment from harsh environmental conditions that may affect their performance. Rubber seals are also important…

Fluoroelastomers Outperform XLPE Wire.

AFLAS® Fluoroelastomers Outperform XLPE Wire for EV Cable

Electric vehicles use high-voltage cables to transmit electrical power to the charging port, battery, engine and other internal components. The automotive industry requires these cables to be lightweight to improve vehicle efficiency and all-electric range. These engines are very hot and contain harsh chemicals. An advanced insulation material is needed to protect cables from this…

fluoroelastomers for gaskets and seals

AGC Joins the Gasket Fabricators Association

AGC is pleased to announce that we have joined the Gasket Fabricators Association (GFA). We hope to connect with other companies that provide custom-fabricated components and services to the gasket industry and to form strategic partnerships.

Three AFLAS Fluoroelastomer Grades Are Now FDA Approved for Food Contact

It’s challenging to design equipment that will be used in high temperature and other severe food processing applications. That’s because these applications require durable materials that meet the strict requirements of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). We’re excited to announce that three grades of our AFLAS fluoroelastomers are now FDA approved food contact….

How to Produce Superior Sealed Parts with Fluoroelastomers Bonded to Metal

Many industrial equipment parts and components use rubber seals to protect them from harmful chemicals, fluids and gases. Shaft seals, cylinder head gaskets, oil seals and packers all require rubber seals when used in harsh environments and applications such as the automotive, processing and oil & gas industries. These parts and components rely on rubber-to-metal…

AFLAS® 600X fluoroelastomers for offshore technology

Introducing AFLAS 600X at the Offshore Technology Conference

Once again we were excited to be a part of the Offshore Technology Conference. This event attracts oil and gas industry professionals from over 100 countries to share ideas about meeting global energy demands. At OTC we introduced AFLAS® 600X fluoroelastomers, which we developed especially for molded products like durable packers, bladders, gaskets and O-rings….
