AFM 44 is an asbestos-free gasket material. It consists of carbon fibers and other asbestos substitutes that are resistant to high temperatures and are processed with high-grade elastomers under elevated pressure and temperatures.

AFM 44 exhibits very good temperature resistance together with high mechanical strength, as shown by its high values for residual stress and tensile strength. It is ideally suited for sealing gases and liquids, and also features high chemical resistance, e.g. with lyes.
