Fluon+™ FR 03 (330003010)
- Chemical Family
- Fluoropolymers
AGC Chemicals Americas, Inc. Fluon+™ FR 03 (330003010) is a high flow PTFE compound that contains 15% glass fibers, which are added to improve the wear properties, compressive strength, and creep resistance of PTFE without sacrificing the chemical and thermal resistance of the polymer. This compound is supplied in round pelletized form and the pellets range in size from approximately 325 - 700 microns, making it suitable for use in seal applications.

- 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.
