AFM?38 Sealing Solutions Powering Global Infrastructure
From providing clean drinking water in Kenya to powering high-tech cooling systems in data centers, reliable sealing solutions are essential wherever infrastructure matters most. In regions where access to water and energy directly improves daily life, components must perform flawlessly under demanding conditions. This is exactly where Victor Reinz® industrial gaskets make a difference.
Sealing Material Designed for Demanding Applications
AFM 38 is a gasket material made from aramid fibers and advanced elastomer binders, processed under heat and pressure. It offers excellent thermal resistance for continuous operation up to 200 °C and short-term peaks up to 300 °C. Its high compressibility (15–25%) and strong recovery (>60%) ensure reliable sealing even under low surface pressure, ideal for lightweight housings, pumps, and fittings. Combined with outstanding gas sealability, AFM 38 delivers dependable performance across a wide range of applications.
Proven Performance for Global Infrastructure
AFM 38 is widely used in:
- Pumps, valves, and pipeline systems
- Engine and gearbox covers
- Applications involving oils, fuels, solvents, water and antifreeze mixtures
Thanks to its chemical resistance and long-term sealing stability, AFM 38 is suitable for a wide range of applications. Its durability and low maintenance requirements make it a trusted solution for infrastructure projects worldwide, especially in regions facing challenging environmental conditions.
