Introduction

In modern industrial fields, the demand for high-performance rubber materials is growing. Fluorosilicone rubber, as a new type of elastomer, has shown a wide range of application prospects due to its unique advantages. Fluorosilicone oil, as one of its important raw materials, provides strong support for the excellent properties of fluorosilicone rubber.

1. Excellent High and Low Temperature Resistance

Fluorosilicone rubber inherits the high and low temperature resistance of silicone rubber and is further enhanced by fluorosilicone oil. Its temperature resistance range can reach -68℃ to 232℃, and some special types can maintain elasticity at even lower temperatures. In high-temperature environments, fluorosilicone rubber can maintain stable physical and chemical properties without significant deformation or degradation. In low-temperature conditions, it can still maintain good flexibility and elasticity without becoming brittle or losing function. This excellent high and low temperature resistance makes it capable of meeting the application requirements under various extreme temperature conditions in the fields of aerospace and automotive industries.

2. Outstanding Chemical Corrosion Resistance

Due to the introduction of fluorine elements in fluorosilicone oil, fluorosilicone rubber exhibits outstanding chemical corrosion resistance. It can withstand a variety of chemical media, including strong acids, strong bases, and organic solvents. In the fields of petrochemical and chemical industries, equipment and pipelines often come into contact with various corrosive chemicals. Fluorosilicone rubber products such as seals and gaskets made from fluorosilicone rubber can effectively resist the erosion of these chemicals, ensuring the normal operation of equipment and the long-term stability of sealing performance. In addition, fluorosilicone rubber also has good resistance to methanol-containing gasoline and is suitable for vehicle gasoline/ethanol blend fuel systems.

3. Good Mechanical Properties

Fluorosilicone rubber maintains the good elasticity of silicone rubber, and its tensile and tear resistance are improved due to the effect of fluorosilicone oil. In high-temperature environments, the mechanical properties of fluorosilicone rubber are more prominent, and it can withstand greater stress and deformation without being damaged. This makes fluorosilicone rubber suitable for use in automotive exhaust systems, fuel systems, and other components in the automotive industry, where it can effectively deal with the complex working conditions of high temperature, high pressure, and vibration during vehicle operation.

4. Stable Electrical Properties

Fluorosilicone rubber has stable electrical properties, and its electrical properties change little in harsh environments such as high temperature, low temperature, humidity, oil, organic solvents, chemicals, and active oxygen. This makes fluorosilicone rubber suitable for use as insulating and sealing materials in electrical and electronic equipment, ensuring the normal operation and safety of equipment. For example, in the field of aerospace, fluorosilicone rubber can be used in the sealing and vibration reduction systems of aircraft engines, maintaining good electrical insulation performance and mechanical properties in high-temperature and strong-corrosion environments.

5. Excellent Weather Resistance

Fluorosilicone rubber has good weather resistance and can resist the effects of ultraviolet rays, ozone, and climate changes. In outdoor environments exposed to the elements for a long time, fluorosilicone rubber products can maintain the stability of their physical and chemical properties without significant aging or performance degradation. This makes fluorosilicone rubber suitable for use in building sealants, waterproof materials, and other applications in the construction industry, effectively extending the service life and maintenance cycle of buildings.

Conclusion

Fluorosilicone oil, as a raw material for silicone rubber, brings many unique advantages to fluorosilicone rubber. Its excellent high and low temperature resistance, outstanding chemical corrosion resistance, good mechanical properties, stable electrical properties, and excellent weather resistance have made it widely used in the fields of aerospace, automotive industry, petrochemical industry, electrical and electronic equipment, and construction. With the continuous progress of technology and the development of industry, the application prospects of fluorosilicone rubber will be even broader, providing more reliable material guarantees for the development of various industries.
