Fluon+™ FC 433 SPL (340433001)
- Chemical Family
- Fluoropolymers
AGC Chemicals Americas, Inc. Fluon+™ FC 433 SPL (340433001) is a 15% soft carbon-filled PTFE product designed for use in seal applications. This compound is supplied in round pelletized form, with pellets ranging in size from approximately 350 - 800 microns. Soft carbon is added to PTFE to improve the wear properties, compressive strength, and creep 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.
