A major breakthrough has been made in the research of fluorosilicone rubber materials, with improved oil resistance over a wide temperature range, facilitating innovation in industrial applications
1.New composite materials have overcome the challenges of oil resistance and temperature limits
Recently, an innovative research achievement on fluorosilicone rubber composite materials has drawn industry attention. Through mechanical blending process and high-temperature and high-pressure vulcanization technology, the research team successfully developed a fluorosilicone rubber composite material with high oil resistance and wide temperature range. This material can maintain stable performance within an extreme temperature range of -60 β to 150β. Its compression set rate is 30% lower than that of traditional materials, and its resistance to polar oil has passed international standard tests and certifications, demonstrating great application potential in aerospace sealing structures, deep-sea exploration equipment and other fields.
2. Technological breakthroughs drive the upgrading of the industrial chain
The core of the new material lies in the optimization of the filler ratio and crosslinking density. Researchers increased the tensile strength of the material by 35% by introducing nanoscale reinforcing materials while maintaining excellent dielectric properties. This technological breakthrough not only resolves the issue of traditional fluorosilicone rubber being prone to brittleness in low-temperature environments, but also extends the product's service life from the industry average of 15 years to over 25 years. At present, this technology has applied for multiple invention patents and is planned to achieve large-scale production in 2026.
3. Market demand drives performance iteration
With the rapid development of the new energy industry, the demand for fluorosilicone rubber in fields such as battery sealing for power batteries and hydrogen energy storage and transportation has soared. Industry data shows that the global fluorosilicone rubber market size is expected to exceed 10 billion yuan in 2025, among which the consumption in the new energy vehicle sector will account for 31% of the total industry consumption. The advent of new composite materials has precisely met the market's urgent demand for high-temperature resistant and corrosion-resistant sealing materials, and it is expected to drive the output value of related industrial chains to increase by more than 20%.
4. Environmental protection and sustainable development have become new directions
During the material research and development process, the team pays particular attention to improving environmental protection performance. By adopting a production process with low VOCs emissions, the volatile organic compound emissions per unit product of the new material have been reduced by 40% compared with the current standards, meeting the latest national environmental protection requirements. This green manufacturing technology not only helps enterprises cope with increasingly strict environmental supervision, but also opens up new paths for the application of fluorosilicone rubber in sensitive fields such as medical care and food processing.
