Advantages and disadvantages of fluorosilicone gel

Hits: 1044 img

Compared to ordinary silicone rubber, fluorosilicone exhibits more outstanding performance characteristics.

In terms of high and low temperature resistance, fluorosilicone has a wider range of applications and can maintain excellent performance under extreme temperature conditions of -70 ° C to 260 ° C. While general silicone rubber also has good temperature resistance, it is slightly inferior in comparison.

In addition, fluorosilicone also has stronger resistance to oil, solvents, and chemicals, which allows it to maintain longer stability and durability in some special environments, such as when in contact with fuel, lubricants, or other chemicals. Although silicone rubber generally has a certain degree of chemical resistance, it may be affected by certain highly corrosive substances.

In terms of physical and mechanical properties, fluorosilicone rubber usually has better tensile strength, tear strength, and wear resistance than general silicone rubber, which makes it more advantageous in some situations that require greater mechanical stress.

However, the cost of fluorosilicone is usually higher than that of general silicone rubber, which to some extent limits its popularity in certain applications with strict cost requirements. Meanwhile, the processing difficulty of fluorosilicone gel is relatively high, requiring higher levels of craftsmanship and technical requirements.

In summary, fluorosilicone has shown unique advantages in some high-end applications due to its excellent high and low temperature resistance, chemical resistance, and physical and mechanical properties. However, its high cost and relatively difficult processing are also its undeniable disadvantages. However, general silicone rubber plays an important role in a wide range of application fields due to its excellent comprehensive performance and relatively low cost.
