AFM 30 is an asbestos-free gasket material. It consists of aramide fibers and other asbestos substitutes that are resistant to high temperatures and are processed with high-grade elastomers under elevated pressure and temperature.
Properties:
AFM 30 is conformable and exhibits excellent mechanical/thermal resistance, as shown by its high value of residual stress. It is ideal for sealing gases and fluids.
Application:
- for compressors, pipelines, apparatus, transmissions, gas meters and IC engines
- for sealing engine, transmission, hydraulic, and refrigerating oils
- for sealing fuels, mixtures of water, antifreeze & corrosion inhibitors
- for sealing Freons, alkaline solutions, and solvents
Surfaces:
As standard, both sides of AFM 30 are coated with a non-stick, high-friction layer that greatly facilitates disassembly. In most cases, additional surface treatment is unnecessary
Approvals:
DVGW / VP 401 (HTB) / BAM / Germanischer Lloyd (DNV GL).
