Development Status Of Fluorosilicone Rubber
In the 1930s, developed countries successively developed organosilicon and organofluorine materials. Organosilicon materials have superior high and low temperature resistance, superior physical and mechanical properties at high temperatures, aging resistance, ozone resistance, self-extinguishing and electrical insulation, etc. Features; while fluorocarbon materials have good thermal stability and have extremely superior resistance to fuel oil and solvents. However, with the continuous development of industrial technology, organosilicon materials have gradually exposed their shortcomings of poor resistance to fuel oil and solvents, while organic fluorine materials have the defect of poor low temperature resistance. In the early 1950s, Dow Corning cleverly combined the advantages of organic fluorine materials with good oil resistance, solvent resistance and low temperature difference resistance with heat-resistant and cold-resistant silicone materials, developed a series of fluorine-silicon products, and opened up the silicone industry. The scope of application of the material. Fluorosilicone rubber is the most widely used new material of fluorosilicone series.
my country began to develop fluorosilicone rubber under the leadership of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in the 1960s. Before the 1990s, fluorosilicone rubber was mainly used in the military industry. Since the late 1990s, the rapid development of high-tech industries such as aviation and automobiles has played a key role in driving the fluorosilicone rubber industry. In just a few years, the consumption of fluorosilicone rubber has increased several times. With the technological progress of the automobile industry, the limitations of the world's oil consumption, the rise in prices and the improvement of environmental protection requirements have provided a lot of room for the development of the fluorosilicone rubber industry. At the same time, the demand for fluorosilicone rubber is also increasing with the development of aerospace, petroleum, chemical, machinery and other industries. In addition, with the continuous expansion of the production capacity of fluorosilicone rubber, the product price is also gradually decreasing, which has played a role in promoting the application of fluorosilicone rubber. From a technical point of view, breakthroughs have been made in industrialized production bottlenecks and environmental protection bottlenecks, which is one of the main reasons why fluorosilicone rubber products can truly enter the mass market. In addition, the rapid promotion of application technology is also the fundamental driving force for the development of fluorosilicone rubber.
