Ethyl fluorosilicone oil: New breakthroughs and developments in multi-field applications

1. Excellent features and wide application
As a special silicone compound, ethylfluorosilicone oil has the advantages of both ethyl silicone oil and fluorosilicone oil. It not only has good dielectric property, can play a stable role in a wide temperature range of -70 °C to 150°C, can be used for electromechanical instrument liquids; Also due to the introduction of trifluoropropyl on silicon atoms, it has excellent oil resistance, solvent resistance and chemical stability, showing good lubricity under extreme pressure conditions. Because of this, it is widely used in industry, cosmetics, medicine and many other fields, from lubricants, defoaming agents, to surface treatment agents, release agents, etc., can play a key role.

2. Industrial field: Application continues to expand
In industry, the application of ethyl fluorosilicone oil has made new progress. Recently, it is outstanding in the field of vacuum pump lubricating oil that deals with chemical reaction gases, and can adapt to complex chemical environments to ensure the stable operation of vacuum pumps. In the bearing lubrication scene in extremely low temperature and extremely high temperature environment, ethylfluorosilicone oil also plays a role, effectively reducing friction and extending the service life of bearings. At the same time, because of its chemical inertia to fuel and other chemicals, the application of steam power circulation system is also increasingly mature, and the power system is efficient and safe operation.

3. Scientific research breakthrough: performance optimization and upgrading
Researchers have been committed to the optimization of the performance of ethyl fluorosilicone oil. Recent research has succeeded in improving some of its key properties by improving the synthesis process. For example, a breakthrough has been made in improving the waterproof and oil-repellent performance of fluorosilicone oil, making the effect of fluorosilicone oil better in the surface treatment of fabrics, leather, paper, etc., and the treated products can still maintain good waterproof and oil-repellent characteristics after repeated dry cleaning and wet washing. The innovation in the preparation process also makes the product quality more stable and the production cost reduced, laying a better foundation for large-scale application.

4. Market prospect: Steady growth in scale
From the market point of view, ethyl fluorosilicone oil has broad prospects. The global market size is expected to grow steadily from about $3 billion in 2020 to about $4 billion in 2025. As the demand for high-performance materials in various industries continues to rise, ethyl fluorosilicone oil is expected to further expand its share in market segments such as lubricants, sealants, and coatings with its unique properties. Whether it is industrial production or daily consumer goods manufacturing, ethylfluorosilicone oil will play an increasingly important role and become one of the key materials to promote the development of related industries.
