Fluon+™ Polycomp 185 (310999242)
- Chemical Family
- Fluoropolymers
AGC Chemicals Americas, Inc. Fluon+™ Polycomp 185 (310999242) is a PTFE product filled with a combination of polyphenylene sulfide and graphite. It is designed for use in large billet molding and is supplied in dry powder form. The addition of polyphenylene sulfide and graphite improves the wear properties, abrasion resistance, and deformation resistance of PTFE without compromising its chemical and thermal resistance. This product is suitable for use in large-scale manufacturing processes and can be molded into thick-walled parts using compression molding equipment.

- 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.
