Fluon+™ Glass-Reinforced PF-21001
- Chemical Family
- Fluoropolymers
AGC Chemicals Americas, Inc. Fluon+™ Glass-Reinforced PF-21001 is a reinforced PFA compound designed for use in injection molding or extrusion applications where additional mechanical properties are required. The compound contains 25% glass fiber and 75% PFA, a copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and perfluoroalkoxyethylene. These pre-pigmented black pellets are approximately 0.080 inches in diameter and 0.125 inches long, and are suitable for applications that demand the thermal and chemical resistance of PFA, along with the additional mechanical toughness provided by the glass fiber reinforcement.

- 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. FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS READ AGC CHEMICALS AMERICAS, INC. MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET.
