PRODUCT
REFERENCE:
FLEXITALLIC AF 2100
DESCRIPTION:
AF 2100 is a high performance nitrile rubber based sheet sealing material
reinforced with glass fibre.
COLOUR:
Blue
SERVICE:
AF 2100 is suitable for sealing in a wide range of applications involving steam,
water, oils, fuels, mild acids and alkalis.
Maximum recommended temperature :
475OC (887OF)
Maximum recommended pressure :
14 MPa (140 bar; 2030 psi)
These temperature and pressure guides cannot necessarily be used
simultaneously and may not apply at all thicknesses.
Do NOT use gasket pastes.
The higher compressibility of AF 2100 compared to CAF combined with the
comparative effects of thickness on residual stress means that AF 2100 should be
used at lower thicknesses. It is recommended that 1.0 mm AF 2100 be used in
place of 1.5 mm CAF.
