Fluon+™ FC444.0 (340444004)

Chemical Family
Fluoropolymers

AGC Chemicals Americas, Inc. Fluon+™ FC444.0 (340444004) is a 40% bronze filled PTFE product designed for use in seal applications. This compound is supplied in round pelletized form. These pellets range in size from approximately 350 - 800 microns. Bronze powder is added to PTFE to increase the thermal and electrical conductivity and to improve the wear properties and deformation resistance without sacrificing the chemical and thermal resistance of the polymer.

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
