Fluorosilicone seals are highly versatile and effective components used in various engineering applications. These seals are specifically designed to withstand extreme temperatures, harsh chemicals, and aggressive fluids, making them ideal for applications in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and oil and gas. Fluorosilicone seals exhibit excellent resistance to fuel, oil, and solvents, providing exceptional reliability and longevity. Their unique composition, combining the flexibility of silicone with the superior chemical resistance of fluorocarbons, allows them to maintain their integrity even under the most challenging conditions. Whether it's sealing engine compartments, hydraulic systems, or electronic enclosures, fluorosilicone seals offer a dependable and durable solution that ensures optimal performance and protection.

Features and Benefits:

Fluorosilicone, and its different compounds, provide the best fuel resistance compared to the most commonly used elastomers. This makes fluorosilicone the perfect choice to be used for static seals in fuel systems, especially in the aerospace industry. Another reason fluorosilicones are the perfect material for the aerospace industry is its great temperature range of as low as -80°C up to +220°C.

Fluorosilicones also possess a very low compression set. This means that a seal made from fluorosilicone will be able to return very closely back to its original size and shape after being under a lot of pressure. However while it is under this high amount of pressure the seal will not deform to the point of failure, where leaks would occur.

Fluorosilicone also has fantastic resistances to other environmental factors, such as, sunlight, weathering and ozone. These properties just add to the already many reasons fluorosilicone is used so much in the Aerospace industry. However, even though fluorosilicone is primarily used in the aerospace industry, it is starting to become more widely used in other industries.

Summary:

• Excellent potential temperature range of -80°C up to +220°C (depending on compound)

• Work extremely well in very high temperature applications

• Excellent resistance to sunlight, ozone and other forms of weathering.

• Great resistance when in contact with hydrocarbon fuels and petroleum oils.
