Stored in a dry environment, AFC has an infinite shelf life. Applications Filler compound for compression accessories operating at temperatures up to 180ºC (355ºF). Example: dead ends, compression joints, terminals and jumper connectors. Features Wide Temperature Tolerance AFC is stiff but workable at low temperatures. To improve the workability, AFC can be diluted with 5% kerosene (by weight). Improves Holding Strength and Conductivity AFC contains hard, metallic particles (grit). During compression, the grit is embedded between the conductor and the accessory, creating an irregular surface which provides two benefits: (1) increases the holding strength when tension is applied and (2) improves conductivity by breaking the oxide layer on bare metal to metal connections. Weather Resistant AFC is forced between the conductor strands during compression, filling voids and sealing out the harmful effects of air and moisture. Fits Standard Caulking Gun For easy filling of compression accessories, AFC is available in a tube that fits a standard caulking gun. Visible Fill Line AFL is the only supplier that features a visible fill line along the length of the cartridge which allows the user to visually check the fullness of the tube.
