The application of fluorosilicone in the automotive industry is extensive and important, which can be summarized as follows:
Seals and oil seals: Fluorosilicone is often used in the automotive industry to manufacture various sealing rings and oil seals, such as engine crankshaft rear seals, cylinder gaskets, fuel pump seals, etc. These parts need to withstand the erosion of mediums such as engine oil and fuel for a long time, and the oil and solvent resistance of fluorosilicone enables it to maintain long-term stability and reliability.
Diaphragms and catheters: In the automotive industry, fluorosilicone is also used to manufacture diaphragms, catheters and other parts. For example, automobile fuel level indicator sensor hoses, oil guide pipes, atomizer oil pump diaphragms and other parts all require fluorosilicone to ensure their stability and reliability in various complex environments.
Valve lining: The excellent performance of fluorosilicone also makes it an ideal material for manufacturing valve linings. The valve lining in the car needs to withstand high temperature, high pressure and erosion of mediums such as fuel and engine oil, and the low compression deformation, flame retardancy and good insulation of fluorosilicone enable it to meet these requirements.
Other applications: In addition to the above applications, fluorosilicone has other applications in the automotive industry, such as corrugated sleeves, fuel tank cover gaskets, fuel tank gaskets, oil filter seals, diaphragms for vacuum regulation, etc.
The application of fluorosilicone in the automotive industry benefits from its excellent performance characteristics, such as oil resistance, solvent resistance, low compression deformation, flame resistance, good insulation, etc. In addition, fluorosilicone also has good high and low temperature stability, and can be used for a long time in the range of -50℃ to +200℃, and even for a short time at 250℃, which further expands its application range in the automotive industry.
In general, the application of fluorosilicone in the automotive industry covers many aspects such as seals, oil seals, diaphragms, conduits, valve linings, etc., and is one of the key materials to ensure the long-term and stable operation of various automotive components.
