AFM34/2

AFM 34/2 is an asbestos-free gasket material. It contains aramide fibers, inorganic fillers and other high-temperature resistant substances which are bonded with high-quality elastomers with high strength and especially gas-tight under increased pressure and increased temperature.

AFM 34/2 does not contain any physiologically harmful substances or colour pigments.

AFM 34/2 exhibits high tensile strength plus stress and shearing resistance. The material is ideally suited for sealing gases and fluids, e.g. oils, solvents, fuels, Freons, liquid gases, water/antifreeze mixtures, saline solutions and many other media. It is also suitable for sealing hot water and steam up to approx. 200 °C in stationary applications and with an installation surface pressure of at least 50 N/mm². Please consult us if you have a specific application.

Other characteristic properties of the material are excellent temperature resistance, stress resistance under high operating pressure, and ease of handling.

in DIN and ANSI flanged pipe connections, apparatuses, pumps and fittings of industrial facilities

in threaded unions with very narrow ring areas, e.g. in gas and hot water boilers, solar installations, heating system radiators and radiator connections

in high-stress thermal-mechanical sealed joints

Because of its physiological harmlessness AFM 34/2 is especially suitable for use in drinking water applications.

AFM 34/2 features standard non-stick coating (TD 2) with high friction coefficient on both surfaces that facilitates dismantling. Additional surface treatment is therefore not required in most cases.

However, graphite application on one or both sides is recommended in parts that rotate on the gasket during installation, e.g. for threaded unions, radiator plugs, etc. since a low coefficient of friction is required here.
