Product Highlights of General Industry Division
The new gasket material AFM 80 possesses enhanced performance characteristics for difficult sealing situations in the industry and is also PFAS-free. Gaskets made of AFM 80 make the perfect sealing solution for natural gas and hydrogen applications, refrigerating and air compressors as well as transmissions, pumps and fittings. AFM 80 shows its stuff under high pressure and vibration stress combined with narrow sealing lands. The material unites three of the most important properties of sealing technology: adaptability, strength and gas-tightness. Dana makes AFM 80 without the use of any PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) at all.
AFM 34/2 is a tried-and-true gasket classic from Dana for the drinking water sector and is approved under the Drinking Water Ordinance (or TrinkwV for short). Starting in March 1, 2025, plastics and other organic materials in contact with drinking water will have to meet heightened requirements for drinking water hygiene. Customers from Dana who use seals made of AFM 34/2 can lean back and relax: the Victor Reinz gasket material AFM 34/2 is already certified according to the KTW-BWGL guideline under the TrinkwV, which will enter into effect in March 2025. And that goes for all required temperature ranges (cold, warm, and hot water).
