Fluon+™ FC 433.3 (340433300)
- Chemical Family
- Fluoropolymers
AGC Chemicals Americas, Inc. Fluon+™ FC 433.3 (340433300) is a 15% graphitized carbon fiber-filled PTFE product designed for use in seal applications. The compound is supplied in round pelletized form, with pellets ranging in size from approximately 350 - 800 microns. The addition of graphitized carbon fibers to PTFE improves the wear properties, compressive strength, hardness, and creep resistance of the polymer without sacrificing its chemical and thermal resistance.

- Handling Precautions
Heating Fluon® and Fluon+™ products in excess of 750°F (399°C) can produce toxic fumes. It is, therefore, necessary to provide local exhaust ventilation in areas where Fluon® products are exposed to high temperatures. Avoid breathing fumes or contaminating smoking tobacco with fumes, powder, or dust.. Thermal decomposition of this product will generate hydrogen fluoride, which is corrosive. Corrosion resistance materials are required for prolonged contact with molten resin.
