Compressed Fiber AF 2100

Product catalog summary
Product Overview: FLEXITALLIC AF 2100 is a high-performance sheet sealing material made from nitrile rubber and reinforced with glass fiber. It is blue in color and suitable for sealing applications involving steam, water, oils, fuels, mild acids, and alkalis.
Specifications: The maximum recommended temperature is 475°C (887°F) and the maximum pressure is 14 MPa (140 bar; 2030 psi). These limits may not apply simultaneously or at all thicknesses. The material should be used at lower thicknesses due to its higher compressibility compared to CAF.
Physical Properties: The typical thickness is 1.0 mm with a density of 1.60 g/cm³. It has an ASTM compressibility of 18%, recovery of 68%, and a BS residual stress of 27 MPa. The DIN gas permeability is 0.03 mL/min. Increases in thickness and weight due to oil and fuel exposure are specified.
Availability: Sheets are available in sizes of 1.5 m x 1.5 m with thicknesses ranging from 0.4 mm to 2.0 mm. For thicknesses greater than 2 mm, SF 3300 is recommended. The product is also available with SARK III release coating.
Health and Safety: The product is considered safe under normal handling and use, with no respirable fibers present. However, exposure to dust from mechanical treatment should be minimized. Good hygiene practices are recommended during handling, and off-cuts should be disposed of properly. At high temperatures, decomposition may produce irritant or toxic fumes.

FLEXITALLIC AF2100 FLEXITALLIC LIMITED PO BOX 3 MARSH WORKS DEWSBURY ROAD CLECKHEATON WEST YORKSHIRE BD19 5BT TEL: 01274 851273 FAX: 01274 851386 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.

HEALTH AND SAFETY Because of the binding processes which take place during manufacture, the product is believed to present no health and safety hazard and, under normal handling and use it is unlikely that the product will give rise to significant levels of exposure to constituent materials. FLEXITALLIC AF 2100 is reinforced with glass fibres based on continuous filaments of controlled diameter well above the size recognised as respirable. Consequently this material contains NO RESIRABLE FIBRE. Under harsh mechanical treatment (e.g. high speed stamping operations or abrasion) or if the product...
