In the pursuit of material ultimate performance, fluorosilicone rubber is reshaping industry perception with revolutionary advantages. As a cutting-edge fusion product of fluororubber (FKM) and silicone rubber (VMQ), it perfectly inherits the core advantages of both and becomes the ultimate solution for extreme working conditions.
Challenge the limits, performance knows no bounds
The temperature resistance performance of fluorosilicone rubber is amazing: in low temperature environments, it can maintain elasticity up to -60 ° C, and some special formulations can even extend to -80 ° C; Under high temperature conditions, it can withstand 200 ° C for a long time without any pressure, and its short-term limit can even exceed 250 ° C. This ultra wide temperature range adaptability enables it to effortlessly navigate the transition from polar scientific research equipment to high-temperature engine systems. The chemical protection capability is equally excellent, whether it is oily media such as fuel and hydraulic oil, or strong acids, bases, and polar solvents (such as acetone and toluene), they are difficult to penetrate their molecular barriers. Only specific fluorinated solvents may pose challenges, but this also highlights their reliability in the vast majority of chemical environments.
Both dynamic and static demonstrate excellence
At the mechanical performance level, fluorosilicone rubber exhibits high tensile strength and excellent resilience, with a dynamic fatigue life far exceeding that of conventional materials, especially suitable for sealing scenarios in high-frequency motion. The characteristic of low compression permanent deformation ensures that it can maintain sealing integrity under long-term compression, providing lasting protection for the equipment. In addition, its low smoke and low toxicity characteristics meet safety standards, and its ability to resist UV and ozone aging endows it with excellent weather resistance. Even when exposed to harsh natural environments, its performance remains stable as before.
Cross disciplinary applications, defining industry heights
From the automotive industry to aerospace, from chemical energy to cutting-edge healthcare, fluorosilicone rubber is ubiquitous. Turbocharging pipes, fuel system seals, rocket fuel pipelines, nuclear power plant valves... These fields, which have almost stringent requirements for material performance, have become the stage for showcasing their value. High temperature resistant catheters and high-temperature connectors for electronic and electrical devices in medical equipment rely on their unique advantages to break through performance boundaries.
Comparison highlights advantages, cost witnesses value
Compared to fluororubber (FKM), fluorosilicone rubber has better low-temperature elasticity and processing flexibility, while compared to silicone rubber (VMQ), its chemical resistance forms a dimension reduction impact. Although the cost is slightly higher than ordinary rubber, the extended equipment life and improved reliability brought by its comprehensive performance are sufficient to cover the initial investment. The only challenge to note is the vapor barrier, but the permeability to specific gases such as hydrogen can be addressed through targeted formulation optimization.
Craftsmanship creates exquisite products
In terms of molding process, fluorosilicone rubber supports compression molding, extrusion, and injection molding. Although its flowability is low, complex structures can be easily achieved through mold design optimization. Platinum or peroxide compounds are recommended for vulcanization systems, and chlorine containing accelerators should be avoided to ensure stable performance. It is recommended to store away from high temperature and humid environments to prevent moisture absorption from affecting the final quality.
