Breakthroughs in fluorosilicone oil technology drive the innovation of high-performance materials
1. The new preparation process enhances product performance
The research team has successfully developed a preparation method for polyvinyl perfluoropolyether fluorosilicone oil. By optimizing the catalyst system and reaction process, the crosslinking degree and corrosion resistance of the product have been significantly improved. This new type of fluorosilicone oil is synthesized by the reaction of tetramethyltetrafluoroethylcyclotetrasiloxane with perfluoropolyether trimethoxysilane, reducing the use of fluorine-containing solvents in traditional processes. This not only lowers production costs but also enhances environmental friendliness. Experimental data shows that its crosslinking density is 30% higher than that of traditional products, and its stability in strong acid and strong alkali environments has improved by 40%, providing more reliable sealing materials for aerospace and chemical equipment.
2. Environmentally friendly fluorosilicone oil expands its application boundaries
With the growth in demand for green manufacturing, fluorosilicone oil has made breakthroughs in the application of medical and food processing fields. Studies have shown that the biocompatibility of fluorosilicone oil makes it suitable as a long-acting filler in ophthalmic surgery, effectively treating complex retinal detachment. Its high specific gravity characteristic does not require patients to maintain a special position, and the postoperative residual rate is reduced by 60%, significantly enhancing the safety of the surgery. In addition, food-grade fluorosilicone oil has passed international certification and can be used for lubrication of food packaging machinery, ensuring safety when in contact with food.
3. The demand in the new energy sector has soared
In new energy vehicles and renewable energy equipment, the high-temperature resistance and long service life of fluorosilicone oil have become key advantages. For instance, its application in motor bearings can extend the lubrication cycle to twice that of traditional greases, reducing maintenance costs. Industry forecasts indicate that with the expansion of the new energy vehicle market, the demand for fluorosilicone oil in battery component sealing and photovoltaic equipment lubrication will increase by more than 50% in the next five years.
4. Industry standardization and sustainable development
In recent years, the fluorosilicone oil industry has accelerated its standardization process, and multiple international standards have incorporated environmental protection and performance indicators for fluorosilicone oil. For instance, the latest regulations of the European Union stipulate that the volatile organic compound (VOC) content of fluorosilicone oil products should be below 0.1%, which urges enterprises to upgrade their production processes. Meanwhile, the research team is exploring the development of degradable fluorosilicone oil, with the goal of achieving a proportion of bio-based raw materials exceeding 30% by 2030, further reducing environmental impact.
