Fluorosilicone Is a Silicone Rubber Variant that Has Excellent High Temperature Stability, Compression Set, Enhanced Resistances to Non-Polar Solvents and Mechanical Properties while also Being Resistant to Fuel, Oil, Acids and Alkaline Chemicals. These Additional Benefits are Not Without Cost, There Are Significant Differences that Distinguish them in terms of applications. Here are Some Key Distinctions Between Silicone and Fluorosilicone.
Because of its unique resistance properties, fluorosilicone is the preferred material for the aerospace industry as well as oil and gas applications. This can be molded into o-rings, gaskets, tubing, and other seals. Fluorosilicone temperature range from -75–260º C is advised for the below uses:
- Aerospace Trim, Seals
- Systems for jet fuel, tank seals
- Applications for petroleum oil
- Electrical housing seals
- Aerospace fuel systems
- Automotive fuel emission control systems.
- aircraft door seals gaskets
- aircraft engine seals
- aircraft inflatable door seals
- aircraft gap seals
- aircraft window seals
- Trim & Ferrin Seals
- Door Seals
- Baggage Door Seals
- Window Seals
- Wing Root Seals
- Quarter Round Seals
- “P” Shaped Seals
- U-Channel Seals
- Stabilizer Seals
- Wiper Blades
- Fuel Tank Strap Chafe Material
- Silicone Seals
There are several limitations associated with silicone and fluorosilicone, including their poor abrasion resistance and high friction properties. The limitations of these materials make them unsuitable for use in dynamic sealing applications. The rubbers are also not recommended for use in situations where ketones are present.
