Fluorosilicone Elastomer

Definition & Properties:
Fluorosilicone elastomer is a synthetic material with methyl and trifluoropropyl polysiloxane as its basic structural units. It combines the oil and chemical resistance of fluoroelastomers with the low-temperature flexibility and high-temperature tensile retention of silicone rubbers.

Application Areas:
Fluorosilicone elastomers are widely used in extreme environments requiring high temperature, low temperature, oil, and chemical resistance, such as aerospace and petrochemical industries.

Fluorosilicone Gum

Definition & Properties:
Fluorosilicone gum is a heat-vulcanizable fluorosilicone elastomer that appears as a translucent, gel-like substance with a broad molecular weight distribution. It combines the oil and chemical (solvent) resistance of fluoroelastomers with the low-temperature flexibility and high-temperature tensile retention of silicone rubbers.

Application Areas:
Fluorosilicone gum is suitable for use as sealing materials in environments requiring high and low temperature resistance, oil resistance, and chemical resistance, such as seals and gaskets.

Fluorosilicone Compounded Rubber

Definition & Properties:
Fluorosilicone compounded rubber is a new type of rubber made from fluorosilicone elastomer as the base material through a mixing process. It combines the characteristics of silicone rubber and fluoroelastomer, such as a wide operating temperature range (-60°C to 200°C), strong solvent and oil resistance, excellent insulation properties, and low permeability.

Application Areas:
Fluorosilicone compounded rubber is widely used in industries such as aerospace, automotive, marine, electronics, precision instruments, petrochemicals, and healthcare, especially for seals, contacts, and other components in the manufacturing of rockets, satellites, automobiles, and aircraft.
