Fluorosilicone oil has excellent weather resistance in industry, which makes it widely used in many industrial fields. The following are the specific applications of fluorosilicone oil's weather resistance in industry:
1. Lubrication field
Fluorosilicone oil has excellent oil resistance, solvent resistance, and chemical reagent resistance, and can meet the lubrication requirements of vacuum equipment and low-temperature equipment bearings working in high temperature and high humidity environments. Its lubrication performance is better than methyl silicone oil and chlorophenyl silicone oil, and even better than mineral oil under high load conditions. Therefore, fluorosilicone oil is often used as:
Vacuum pump lubricant for handling chemical reaction gases.
Grease base oil for bearings in extremely low and high temperature environments.
Grease base oil for steam power circulation systems, watch industry, and micro-mechanical industry.
2. Surface treatment field
The long-chain fluorocarbon-modified silicone oil in fluorosilicone oil has extremely excellent surface properties and can be used for waterproof and oil-proof treatment of surfaces such as fabrics, leather, paper, metal, glass, and ceramics. At the same time, fluorosilicone oil can also be used as a release agent, showing good anti-stickiness and lubricity in molding, pouring, encapsulation and coating processes, and is non-toxic and safe, and does not corrode molds.
3. Coating additives
Fluorosilicone oil coatings have properties such as high temperature resistance, hydrophobicity, oil repellency, solvent resistance, and weather resistance. Use it for:
Antifouling coatings for marine ships, which perform better than silicone self-polishing coatings, provide a new way to develop non-toxic antifouling coatings for ship bottoms.
Protective coatings for solar energy devices in desert areas can take advantage of their low surface energy and self-cleaning effects.Lubricating and protective coatings for magnetic recording media and some optical instruments and equipment, such as lens protective coatings for cameras and cameras.
4. Other applications
Fluorosilicone oil can also be used as a defoaming agent, and is widely used in the fields of petroleum, textiles, synthetic rubber and resin industries, coatings and ink industries, food processing and fermentation industries, and medical fields.
Fluorosilicone grease, fluorosilicone paste and other secondary products of fluorosilicone oil also have good lubricity and weather resistance, and can be used for the lubrication of high-speed, heavy-load bearings in contact with chemical reagents, as well as the lubrication and sealing of valves in contact with corrosive compounds.
In summary, fluorosilicone oil has a wide range of application prospects in industry due to its excellent weather resistance. With the advancement of science and technology and the development of industry, the application field of fluorosilicone oil will continue to expand.
