Fluon+™ FC 201 (310201000)
- Chemical Family
- Fluoropolymers
AGC Chemicals Americas, Inc. Fluon+™ FC 201 (310201000) is a 5% glass-filled modified PTFE product that is supplied in dry powder form. The addition of glass fibers improves the wear properties, compressive strength, hardness and creep resistance of PTFE without compromising its chemical and thermal resistance. Modified PTFE has improved creep resistance and weldability compared to regular PTFE, making it suitable for use in gasket and seal applications.
