Rubber Expo Show Daily 2008 - (Page 22) 22 RUBBER MINI EXPO POST SHOW DAILY AGC Chemicals Americas Offering Aflas Fluoroelastomers AGC Chemicals Americas (booth 431) manufactures, markets and sells high performance fluoroproducts under the Fluon and Aflas brands. AGC is featuring Aflas fluoroelastomers, which are copolymers of tetrafluoroethylene and propylene. This combination give Aflas fluoroelastomers unique properties over conventional FKM-type fluoroelastomers in demanding applications found in the oil/gas, chemical process, wire and cable, heavy equipment, food handling/pharmaceutical and automotive industries. Aflas fluoroelastomers display outstanding resistance to heat, bases, many solvents, ozone and steam, and are classified by ASTM D 1418-01 as FEPM. In the oil/gas industry, seals and fluid handling components based on Aflas hold up exceptionally well when exposed to hydrogen sulfide, amines and steam commonly found down hole. Aflas also has a high resistance to explosive decompression. Today’s high performance engines run hot and long. As a result, automotive fluids, such as oil and coolants, need increasing amounts of amine stabilizers that can damage FKM fluoroelastomer seals. Aflas fluoroelastomers are engineered to thrive in these harsh environments. In addition, Aflas has been tested against the rigorous USP Class VI protocol and is suitable for pharmaceutical applications. Aflas shows outstanding resistance to high concentration acids and alkalis at high temperatures. It also has excellent volume resistivity (greater than 1016 Ω∙cm), unmatched by other FKM and FFKM fluoroelastomers. Mechanical properties of Aflas do not deteriorate, even when used for prolonged exposure to 200°C. Aflas can be used continuously for 2-3 months at 230°C, and for 10-30 days at 260°C. Aflas only begins to decompose in open air at temperatures above 400°C. Aflas is resistant against highly reactive organic and inorganic chemicals, including amine additives contained in engine oils and gear lubricants. Aflas is applicable even in dirty environments, such as gear seals, where a PTFE resin seal is not usable. UNITED FEED SCREWS, LTD. New & Rebuilt Screws & Barrels O.D.

Inman, a former newspaper writer and corporate public relations executive with Goodyear Tire & Rubber, was honored to be chosen to write the book on the first 100 years of the Rubber Division. The Rubber Mirror: Reflections of the Rubber Division’s First 100 Years will be published in May 2009 in conjunction with the Division’s Centennial Celebration. Inman, who now is president of Goldfinch Henry Inman Communications, said, “It is an honor to document the storied history of an organization that has been an integral and active participant in the tire and rubber industry.” He said he enjoyed working with the many people and organizations that have been and continue to be contributors to the Division. The Rubber Mirror documents the 100year history (1909-2009) of the Rubber Division of the American Chemical Society through the lives of the many people who created the organization that exists today. “This book will honor past and present members, manufacturers and suppliers alike,” explained Ed Miller, executive director of the Rubber Division. Inman details the history of the Rubber Division from 1909 to the present. Significant events in the history of the Division include the Synthetic Rubber Research Program during WWII and the rise of Akron, Ohio, as the “Rubber Capital of the World.” Inman is especially grateful for all the help he received from Chris Laursen and the Rubber Division Library as a vital resource in his research, as well as long time members and former chairmen Ralph Graff and Ben Kastein.
