Fluon+™ Polycomp 442 (340999443)

Chemical Family
Fluoropolymers

AGC Chemicals Americas, Inc. Fluon+™ Polycomp 442 (340999443) is a polyphenylene sulfide and graphite filled PTFE compound designed for use in seal applications. This compound is supplied in round pelletized form, with pellets ranging in size from approximately 350 - 800 microns. The polyphenylene sulfide and graphite fillers are added to improve the wear properties, compressive strength, and creep resistance of PTFE 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.

Safe Use and Handling

A summary of the hazards, as defined by OSHA Hazard Communication Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1200 for this product are: Physical hazards: None Health hazards: None
