Classified by ASTM D 1418-01 as FEPM, AFLAS® 100 Series comprises fluoroelastomers for electrical submersible pump bladders and polymeric products used in extreme downhole environments. Compounds based on AFLAS 100 series can withstand temperature, pressure, and corrosive elements. These copolymers of tetrafluoroethylene and propylene impart flexibility, toughness, and resistance to chemicals, heat, and steam. Mechanical properties do not deteriorate, even upon prolonged exposure to 392°F.
