Fluon+ materials use advanced fillers, pigment systems and additives to enhance the performance of AGC’s Fluon fluoropolymer resins. These materials add performance characteristics such as toughness; lubricity; creep, wear and chemical resistance; and thermal and electrical conductivity. Products like wire and cable jackets, insulated coatings, fuel hoses and multilayer film made with Fluon+ materials are used in a wide range of applications in the automotive, aerospace, chemical processing, resource recovery, electronics and semiconductor markets.

Fluon+ modified PEEK uses specialty fluoropolymers to improve its impact strength, wear resistance, flexibility and electrical insulating properties. Fluon+ modified PEEK retains mechanical properties at high temperatures up to 200 °C. It is ideal for wireline and cable insulations to better withstand repetitive use in harsh environments.

Also at the event, Mike Sanchez, technical service engineer Fluon+ melt processable compounds, will hold a Supplier Spotlight Presentation on New Solutions for THV Alternatives on Monday, September 18, focusing on Fluon+ flexible AR compounds, which are melt processable materials based on ETFE and a fluoropolymer. Fluon+ AR grades maintain many of the desirable properties of ETFE but in a much more flexible form.
