AGC Chemicals Americas, Inc. Fluon+™ Non-Conductive ETFE AH-800 is a compound designed for use in automotive fuel hose. This product is ideal for hose constructions which require chemical resistance, permeation resistance, and an unsurpassed bond to polyamide materials. AH-800 has a higher upper-end temperature rating (approaching 200°C) and improved resistance to stress cracks at elevated temperatures. These products are supplied in cylindrical pellet form. These pellets are approximately 0.080 inches in diameter x 0.125 inches long.

- Storage
The properties of Fluon+™ AH-ETFE are not impacted by storage time. Storage and handling facilities should be designed to minimize contact with airborne contamination and the formation of condensation on the resin. Fluoropolymers are not hydroscopic and will not typically need to be dried prior to use. However, masterbatches and conductives may contain materials that do absorb water and should be dried prior to use.
- Benefits
AH-800 has a higher upper-end temperature rating (approaching 200°C) and improved resistance to stress cracks at elevated temperatures.
- Processing
Fluon+ AH-ETFE fluoropolymer resins can be processed using conventional melt processable techniques including extrusion, injection molding, blow molding, compression molding, and transfer molding. It is strongly recommended that process equipment exposed to molten resin be made of corrosion-resistant metals such as Monel, Inconel, or Hastelloy.
