AFM ® 30 – MEDIUM-HARD STANDARD SOLUTION FOR DEMANDING OPERATING CONDITIONS

thermal resistance. AFM® 30 is suitable for short-term peak temperatures up to 400 ºC, and continuous temperatures up to 250 ºC. Application areas AFM® 30 is used primarily for sealing transmission, Hydraulic, refrigerant, and engine oils, as well as fuels. Other uses for AFM® 30 are found in oil pans, oil filter housings, Water pumps, and Air compressors. Application example The good conformability and low setting tendency of AFM® 30 is particularly useful when sealing automatic transmissions. Moreover, the material exhibits a high coefficient of friction for torque transfer.

Both sides of AFM® 30 are coated with a high-friction layer as standard, which facilitates dismantling and makes additional surface treatment unnecessary in most cases. Material AFM® 30 is a composite gasket material based on synthetic fibers. This asbestos-free gasket material contains aramid fibers and other temperature-resistant asbestos substitutes that have been processed together with high-grade elastomers under increased pressure and elevated temperature. Properties AFM® 30 is a standard quality that meets high operational demands. This composite gasket material provides reliable sealing against gases, oils, fuels, and antifreeze agents; moreover, it exhibits good conformability, high tensile and shear strength, as well as mechanical/
