AFLAS® is a copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene (TFE, FEPM) and propylene, also known as TFE/P. This elastomer was developed by Asahi Glass (Japan) and sold under the trade name AFLAS®.

TFE/P (AFLAS) is a copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and propylene with a fluorine content of approx. 54%. This material is unique due to its resistance to petroleum products, steam and phosphorus esters. In some respects it has similar media compatibility properties to ethylene propylene and fluorocarbon.

This compound provides an advantageous combination of high temperature, chemical and electrical resistance properties. Compression set resistance at high temperatures is lower than standard fluorocarbons.
