Fluoro Silicone Tubing
Like silicone, fluoro silicone rubber is a durable elastomer and resistant to compression throughout many temperatures. Fluoro silicone tubes are best for transferring oils and chemicals. Its properties make it suitable for transferring such delicate substances. The unique qualities of fluoro silicone mean it is an issue solving material that is often used in industrial, aerospace, automotive, or aircraft applications for static sealing and cushioning.
We specialize in manufacturing fluoro silicone tubing for a variety of uses in different industries. Fluoro silicone, sometimes known as FVMQ, is a saturated rubber substance. It gives good stability in high temperatures, similar to silicone, because of its chemical resistance capabilities similar to fluorocarbons. A very versatile material, which can be used in a variety of screening applications (such as outdoor applications and those exposed to ozone, the sun, or aromatic hydrocarbons), is fluoro silicone tubing, often required for aerospace applications.
Fluoro Silicone tubing has a high resistance to gasoline, oil, and other types of solvents, as well as a good compression set. These characteristics are maintained at temperatures ranging from -75° to 400°F. Fluoro silicone has unbelievably similar mechanical and physical characteristics to silicone. Fluorosilicone is resistant to petrol and oil but less resistant to the hot atmosphere than silicone.
The best rubber for use in harsh settings with gasoline, oil, solvents, chemicals, or extreme heat and cold. Oil and fuel resistance (particularly at low temperatures). Good electrical resistance. They are not physically strong, yet they are durable and have a standard Compression Set. Due to its impeccable properties, industries, primarily aerospace fuel systems, are the ones that use it extensively. Fluoro silicone is a good choice in various applications due to environmental conditions and performance requirements. But these can be expensive. That is why we provide commercial fluoro silicone tubings which will not strike your pocket.
