FlexiSil Fluorosilicone Rubber Compounds

While combining the advantages of fluoride and silicone rubbers, fluorosilicons are a unique material demanded for the manufacture of products operating in the environment of petroleum products (gasoline, diesel fuel, transformer oils and other mineral types of oils and greases).

Features of fluorosilicones

Resistance to any petroleum products, as well as a wide range of aggressive chemicals, including acids, alkalis and solvents.

  • Operating temperature range is from -600C to + 2000C.
  • High resistance to ozone aging and gas.
  • Resistant to sunlight and UV radiation.
  • Low level of compression set. Even at extreme temperatures, products do not become excessively soft or fragile.
