Fluorosilicone is widely used in the aviation industry, mainly due to its excellent oil resistance, solvent resistance, flame resistance and stability. The following are the specific applications of fluorosilicone in the aviation industry:
1. Seals and contacts
Fluorosilicone is widely used to manufacture fuel oil and lubricant resistant seals and contacts on board. These seals and contacts play a key role in various systems of aircraft, ensuring that fuel and lubricants do not leak, thereby ensuring the normal operation of aircraft. Specifically, fluorosilicone can be made into various O-rings, fillers, integral tank sealing rings, etc., which are used to seal fuel systems, lubrication systems and other parts that require oil resistance and solvent resistance.
2. Other key components
In addition to seals and contacts, fluorosilicone is also used to manufacture other key components in the aviation industry. For example, fluorosilicone can be made into diaphragms, catheters, valve linings, etc., which play an important role in the hydraulic system, air pressure system and fuel system of aircraft. In addition, fluorosilicone can also be used to manufacture sensor materials, wire clamps for fluorosilicone gaskets, etc., which are essential for the safety performance and operating efficiency of aircraft.
3. Application Advantages
The wide application of fluorosilicone in the aviation industry is mainly due to its following advantages:
Oil resistance and solvent resistance: Fluorosilicone has excellent oil resistance and solvent resistance, and can maintain stable performance under extreme conditions to ensure the normal operation of aircraft.
Flame resistance and stability: Fluorosilicone has excellent flame resistance and stability, and can maintain stable performance under harsh environments such as high temperature and high pressure, thereby improving the safety performance of aircraft.
Wide temperature range performance: Fluorosilicone can maintain excellent elasticity in a wide temperature range of -68β to 232β, adapting to the operation requirements of aircraft under different climatic conditions.
