Fluorosilicone (or fluorinated silicone rubber) is a highly versatile synthetic elastomer that can be used in a wide variety of applications. While the mechanical and physical properties of FluoroSilicone Rubber are very similar to those of silicone rubber, there are more significant differences that need to be noted.
Fluorinated Silicone Rubber Manufacturer Tech-Link Silicones manufactures various products using fluorosilicone rubber. Fluorosilicone rubber is handy in applications exposed to aromatic compounds, chlorinated solvents, oxidizing agents, and oils. The following are some of the advantages:
• The material is highly flexible and resistant to compression sets.
• Fluorosilicone rubber is highly resistant to aging, weathering, and sunlight.
• The FluoroSilicone Rubber is resistant to oxidizing chemicals, animal and vegetable oils, fuels, aromatic, chlorinated, and other solvents. Aside from diluted alkalies, diester oils, aliphatic and aromatic fluorocarbons, silicone oils, toluene, benzene, ozone, and oxidative environments, the material is also resistant to these substances.
• Fluorosilicone rubber exhibits superior temperature resistance at low and high temperatures.
• The material exhibits excellent color stability, possesses low odor and taste, and is very clean.
Rubber made from fluorosilicone should not seal dynamically moving parts because it often has low physical strength and is prone to abrasion. In addition, the material tends to wear and degrade quickly when exposed to abrasive materials and compounds.
