Fluorosilicone

Fluorosilicone is a synthetic elastomer that combines the temperature resistance of silicone with the chemical resistance of fluorocarbon. It is commonly used in applications that require resistance to fuels, oils, and solvents over a wide temperature range. Fluorosilicone is known for its excellent performance in extreme environments, particularly in aerospace and automotive applications.

Fluorosilicone Recommended Uses

• Aerospace seals and gaskets
• Fuel systems
• Automotive components
• Military and defense applications
• Industrial equipment
• Chemical processing
• Oil and gas industry

Fluorosilicone Not Recommended

• ketones
• acids
• amines
• hydrocarbon fuels
• phosphate esters
• silicone fluids
• steam
• ozone
• UV exposure

Fluorosilicone Limitations

• Lower mechanical strength compared to other elastomers
• Not suitable for continuous exposure to high temperatures beyond 200°C
• Limited abrasion resistance
• Not ideal for steam or highly dynamic applications
• May swell in certain solvents
• Not recommended for applications requiring low compression set
• May require special handling due to its chemical resistance
• May require post-curing for optimal performance

Fluorosilicone Usable Temperature Range

-60°C to 200°C
