AFM 33/2

Material
AFM 33/2 is an asbestos-free gasket material. It consists of aramide fibers and other asbestos substitutes that are resistant to high temperatures and are processed with high-grade elastomers under elevated pressure and temperature.
Properties
AFM 33/2 is a gasket material with controlled swelling characteristics in oil. In spite of its controlled swelling in oil that results in particularly good conformability to sealing surfaces, AFM 33/2 exhibits dimensional stability and good tensile strength. In addition, the material seals gases very well.
Application
-for sealing engine, hydraulic, transmission, refrigerating oils and other hydrocarbons
-for sealing air, mixtures of water and antifreeze & corrosion inhibitors
-for sealed joints with low sealing pressure or uneven sealing surfaces, e.g. for covers, housings, valve covers, oil pans
-for components that are subject to high mechanical stress, yet require a relatively "soft" gasket.
