ABOUT US
FAQ
A: AFC offers both elastomer-only and fabric-reinforced rubber diaphragms. These diaphragms are used in gas pressure regulators to maintain consistent output pressure and prevent gas leakage. Reinforced variants are bonded with nylon or polyester fabric and made from materials like NBR and EPDM, offering durability under high pressure and temperature.
A: Yes. AFC manufactures a variety of customised components for the gas industry, including rubber discs, rubber seats, gaskets, washers, joint packing, and bottom seals. These are developed using Nitrile (NBR) and tailored to client specifications.
A: AFC produces rubber-to-metal bonded parts such as bearing bushes and wear rings, commonly used in pumps and rotating systems. These components combine rubber elements with MS, SS, or gun-metal inserts, offering structural stability and fluid sealing.
A: AFC supplies bearing seals that block contaminants like dust and moisture, while retaining lubrication. Materials include Viton (FKM), ACM, and NBR. For pumps, AFC manufactures oil seals that prevent water or fluid from entering motor housings, using NBR, Viton, or EPDM.
A: Yes. AFC develops specialised parts for export clients, including plastic molded parts, bellows, dampers, and other rubber components used in chimneys, automobiles, and engineering systems. These are manufactured majorly in EPDM, Neoprene, Viton, GLT and other rubber compound as requested by our customers.
A: Yes. AFC’s rubber compounds comply with European Standard EN549 for gas equipment, and meet FDA, REACH, and RoHS requirements for environmental and food-contact safety.
A: AFC develops rubber compounds of varying hardness levels using materials such as NBR, EPDM, Viton, Neoprene, and more—tailored to specific performance needs like oil resistance, temperature resistance (high as well as low), flexibility, abrasion resistant etc.
