TETRAFLUOROETHYLENE
PROPYLENE (AFLAS) O-RINGS

Parker tetrafluoroethylene propylene, commonly referred to as TFE/P (Aflas®), o-rings provide remarkable chemical, heat, and even steam resistance, making them an ideal choice for various demanding applications. Aflas® o-rings are typically utilized as a superior alternative to FKM (Viton®) due to their enhanced resistance to not only bases and amines but also to sour gasses, H2S steam, and radiation. These o-rings are especially popular in sectors such as oil exploration, biotechnology, and the pharmaceutical industries because of their unique features and distinct advantages. TFE/P compounds are known for their excellent chemical stability, heat tolerance, and steam resistance. They consistently deliver outstanding performance in environments involving water, steam, and virtually all caustic substances, which makes them particularly suitable for pharmaceutical and biotechnology facilities that require stringent sterilization processes utilizing steam and caustic chemicals. TFE/P o-rings excel in applications such as SIP (steam in place), CIP (clean in place), and WFI (water for injection). Due to their exceptional resistance to steam and H2S, TFE/P is extensively utilized within the oil exploration and drilling industries. At East Texas Seals, we are proud to be your trusted supplier of Aflas® o-rings!
