Fluorosilicone oil refers to a silicone oil product in which the side groups of methyl silicone oil are replaced by fluorine-containing groups (such as trifluoropropyl). It has the dual properties of organic silicon and organic fluorine, and has excellent weather resistance, high and low temperature resistance, chemical stability, and water and oil resistance. Its specific application is closely related to the fluorine content. The following is a detailed analysis of the specific applications of fluorosilicone oils with different fluorine contents:
1. Fluorosilicone oil with low fluorine content
Fluorosilicone oil with low fluorine content usually has basic oil resistance, solvent resistance and chemical stability, and is suitable for some occasions where the performance requirements of fluorosilicone oil are not high. These applications include but are not limited to:
Textile treatment: used as a softener, water repellent, feel improver, etc., which can improve the softness and feel of textiles and give them water repellent properties.
Leather treatment: After adding other additives, it can be used as a softener, water repellent, feel agent, defoamer, brightener, etc. for leather to improve the quality and performance of leather.
Coating and ink industry: As an oily defoamer, it can eliminate the foam of coatings and inks during production and application, and improve product quality.
2. Fluorosilicone oil with medium fluorine content
Fluorosilicone oil with medium fluorine content has further improved its oil resistance, solvent resistance and chemical stability, and is suitable for some occasions with high requirements for the performance of fluorosilicone oil. These applications include but are not limited to:
Lubricant: It has good lubricity under extreme pressure conditions and can be used as a high-grade lubricant in the watch industry, micro-mechanical industry and other fields, and can also be used as a vacuum pump lubricant for handling chemical reaction gases.
Release agent: It has good anti-stickiness and lubricity, does not corrode molds, is non-toxic and safe, and can be used in molding, pouring, encapsulation and coating processes.
Sealant: In the fields of chemical industry, mechanical equipment, etc., fluorosilicone oil with medium fluorine content can be used as a sealant to provide effective sealing and protection.
3. Fluorosilicone oil with high fluorine content
Fluorosilicone oil with high fluorine content has reached an extremely high level in oil resistance, solvent resistance and chemical stability, and is suitable for some extremely demanding occasions. These applications include but are not limited to:
High-temperature lubricants: They can maintain their lubrication properties at extremely high temperatures and are suitable for high-temperature lubrication in aerospace, electronics and electrical fields.
Corrosion-resistant materials: They are used in steam power cycle systems and are chemically inert to fuels and other chemicals. They can also be used to lubricate bearings in extremely low and high temperature environments.
Special coatings: Coatings prepared from fluorosilicone oils containing terminal hydroxyl groups, small molecule siloxanes, nano-silicon dioxide, etc. have excellent flame retardancy, solvent resistance, oil resistance, high and low temperature resistance and good self-cleaning properties, and can be used for coating in special occasions.
In summary, fluorosilicone oils with different fluorine contents are widely used in various fields. With the continuous development of fluorosilicone oil technology, its application areas will continue to expand and deepen. When choosing fluorosilicone oil, it is necessary to select the appropriate fluorine content and type of fluorosilicone oil according to the specific application occasions and requirements.
