In addition to introducing AFLAS 600X, AGC will also feature AFLAS PM-3000, pre-compounds and AFLAS 200P at OTC 2017.

AFLAS^® PM-3000 exceeds the performance characteristics of the FKM and HNBR families of elastomers now commonly used in many oil and gas industry applications. Components made from AFLAS PM-3000 peroxide-curable perfluoroelastomers (FFKMs) provide superior resistance to the high temperatures, pressures and aggressive and multi-phase chemicals used in oil and gas recovery. AFLAS PM-3000 imparts a continuous service temperature of 250 °C, with peak exposure to 270 °C.

AFLAS CP-4000 is a new peroxide-curable perfluoroelastomer pre-compound in the AFLAS FFKM series that offers outstanding resistance to chemicals, oils, solvents and extreme heat. It also provides exceptional compression set, mechanical strength, processability and high resistance to rapid gas decompression. It has a service temperature of 280 °C, with peak exposure of 300 °C.

AFLAS CB-046, based on AFLAS CP-4000, is a peroxide-curable FFKM formulated pre-compound that does not require any additional filler. It offers the same superior material features and end-user benefits as CP-4000, including service temperature at 280 °C, with peak exposure of 300 °C.

AFLAS CB-047 is based on AFLAS PM-3000 and provides medium temperature rating from 260 °C up to 280 °C.  Along with CB-046, it has chemical resistance to hydrocarbons, various oils and amines, acids and alkalis, and other caustic fluids with very low swell even in longer-term exposures.

AFLAS 200P, a peroxide-curable specialty FKM, performs better than conventional FKM-type fluoroelastomers and improves cold-temperature performance, which is important because exposure to cold air temperatures can potentially cause hardening, cracking and failure and fluid leakage from a gasket or O-ring.
