Aflas O-Rings
Aflas O-rings are made from a unique fluoroelastomer that offers outstanding resistance to heat, chemicals, and aggressive fluids, including petroleum oils, steam, acids, and bases. Aflas O-rings are particularly well-suited for demanding applications in the oil and gas industry, chemical processing, and high-temperature environments. They are available in various sizes and profiles, including custom shapes.
Available Variations:
Standard O-Rings: Ideal for general-purpose sealing in chemically aggressive environments.
Square Section O-Rings: Provides enhanced sealing performance in specific applications.
Custom Profiles: Chamfered, beveled, or other custom profiles available to meet specific sealing needs.
