Fluorosilicone oil: A dual breakthrough in environmental transformation and application in extreme environments


1. Breakthroughs in environmental protection and recycling technology have enabled the recycling of fluorosilicone oil
Progress has been made in new recycling technologies to address the problem of fluorosilicone oil being difficult to degrade. The microbial decomposition method oxidizes and decomposes fluorosilicone oil through specific strains, achieving a degradation rate of 45%, and does not require a large amount of chemical reagents, reducing costs by 30%. High-temperature separation technology can efficiently extract fluorosilicone oil from waste materials, with a recovery rate of over 85%. After purification, the performance degradation rate is less than 10%, and it can be reused in industrial production.


2. Performance upgrade in extreme environments and expansion of application boundaries in multiple fields
Fluorosilicone oil performs exceptionally well in extreme temperature zones and chemically corrosive environments. The temperature resistance range of fluorosilicone grease covers -70 ℃ to 252℃. In high-speed and heavy-load bearings, its service life can reach 8,000 hours, which is three times longer than that of mineral grease. Under high vacuum conditions, fluorosilicone paste has excellent sealing performance with a leakage rate of less than 1×10⁻⁶Pa · m³/s, meeting the strict requirements of aerospace equipment.

3. Fluorosilicone oil, the core of anti-corrosion in the chemical industry, extends the service life of equipment
In the chlor-alkali industry, fluorosilicone oil-impregnated glass wool is used in demisters, increasing the dehydration efficiency to 99.5%, reducing the equipment corrosion rate by 60%, and extending the service life by more than twice. Its acid and alkali resistance makes it highly effective in the drag reduction treatment of chemical pipelines, reducing fluid resistance by 30% and contributing to energy conservation and consumption reduction in industrial production.

4. Driven by green policies, industries are transforming towards a low-carbon direction
Environmental protection regulations have forced the upgrading of fluorosilicone oil production processes. The application of microreactor technology has reduced energy consumption in the production process by 18% and lowered the volatile matter content to below 0.3%, meeting the EU REACH standards. The research and development of bio-based fluorosilicone oil is accelerating. By introducing plant-based raw materials, the carbon footprint has been reduced by 40%. It is expected that the application proportion in the outdoor coating field will exceed 15% by 2026.
