Aflas Cord (TFE/P) is a highly versatile elastomer engineered from a copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) and propylene. This unique composition delivers exceptional chemical resistance thermal stability and reliable sealing performance in demanding environments. Aflas cord stands up to motor oils engine coolants with rust inhibitors extreme-pressure gear lubricants transmission and power steering fluids and all brake fluids including DOT 3 mineral oil and silicone oil. Its resilience extends beyond automotive use making it equally effective in applications involving heat transfer media amines acids bases hot water and steam.

Key Benefits of Aflas Cord

• Superior Chemical Resistance – Withstands aggressive automotive and industrial fluids including oils coolants lubricants and brake fluids.
• Excellent Heat Stability – Performs reliably under prolonged exposure to high temperatures without loss of sealing integrity.
• Outstanding Sealing Performance – Provides durable leak-free sealing in harsh operating environments.
• Resistance to Steam and Hot Water – Maintains performance where many other elastomers degrade.
• Durability in Harsh Environments – Resistant to amines acids bases and other challenging chemicals.
• Long Service Life – Reduces maintenance and downtime thanks to strong material resilience.

Applications of Aflas Cord

• Automotive systems (oils coolants transmission fluids power steering fluids brake fluids)
• Industrial sealing solutions in chemical processing
• Heat transfer systems
• Exposure to amines acids and bases
• Steam and hot water applications
• Heavy-duty gear lubricants and extreme-pressure environments

Additional Information

Aflas Cord (TFE/P) is manufactured from a unique copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) and propylene combining the best of fluoropolymer resistance with elastomer flexibility. Its ability to withstand extreme conditions makes it a preferred choice for critical sealing applications where standard materials such as FKM or EPDM may fail. This versatility ensures reliable performance across a broad spectrum of industries from automotive and chemical processing to power generation and beyond.
