Time:2024-05-09 Preview:1

Seals or rubber parts used in the home appliance industry, such as electric kettles, electric irons, and rubber parts for microwave ovens. Seals or rubber parts in the electronics industry, such as mobile phone buttons, shock absorbers in DVDs, and seals in cable connectors. Seals for various items that come into contact with people, such as kettles and water dispensers. Fluorosilicone rubber-hydrogenated nitrile seals What are the advantages of fluorosilicone rubber-O-rings? Temperature range of fluorosilicone rubber-O-rings Application of fluorosilicone rubber-O-rings Fluorosilicone rubber-O-rings have good low-temperature elasticity and can be used for fuel and aromatic hydrogen mineral oils. They are often used in contact with jet engines and automotive fuels, most solvents, and engine oils, especially in the aerospace industry.


Fluororubber O-rings are widely used in diesel locomotives, vehicles, tractors, engineering machinery, machine tools, and various hydraulic and pneumatic components. They can play a role of fixing, reciprocating, and rotating. O-rings account for more than 50% of mechanical product seals. It has better heat resistance than silicone rubber and has excellent chemical resistance. Advantages: It can withstand high temperatures of 250°C and is resistant to most oils and solvents, especially all acids, aliphatic hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons and animal and vegetable oils. Disadvantages: It is not recommended for ketones, low molecular weight esters and nitric acid mixtures.


Fluorine rubber O-ring (FVMQ) CH3 (Si—O) Fluorosilicone rubber O-ring molecular structure (CH2CH2CF3-60~177°C). Under high temperature conditions, the drying temperature is 232°C, and the hardness range of O-type fluorosilicone rubber ring is between Shore A45 and 80 degrees. Fluorosilicone rubber O-ring color cars, locomotives, diesel engines and fuel systems. The seals of chemical plants are resistant to weather and ozone; the cold resistance is poor, and the general use temperature range is? - The temperature is between 20~250°C. Special formula, can withstand low temperatures to -40°C.
