AFM 37 is an asbestos-free gasket material. It is composed of aramide fibers and other asbestos substitutes that are resistant to high temperatures. These substitutes are processed with high-grade elastomers under elevated pressure and temperature.
Properties:
AFM 37 is an ecomomical gasket material. It exhibits good sealability in contact with gases and fluids, combined with good conformability. The material’s thermal resistance is very good
Application:
- for sealed joints that are subjected to moderate operating pressures, e.g. in transformers, compressors, pipelines, apparatus and IC engines.
- for sealing transmission, hydraulic, refrigerating, and engine oils
- for sealing fuels, mixtures of water, antifreeze & corrosion inhibitors
- for sealing Freons, alkaline solutions and solvents
Surfaces:
As standard, both sides of AFM 37 are coated with a non-stick, high-friction layer that greatly facilitates disassembly. In most cases, additional surface treatment is unnecessary.
