The application of
fluorosilicone in shipbuilding is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1. Sealing products
Fluorosilicone is widely used in various sealing products in shipbuilding due to its excellent oil and solvent resistance, as well as excellent high and low temperature resistance. These sealing products include but are not limited to:
Oil tank and pipeline system connection seal: Fluorosilicone seals can ensure the tight connection between the oil tank and the pipeline system in various harsh environments, preventing the leakage of liquids such as fuel and lubricating oil.
Grinding discs, ducts, and films for pressure regulation: Grinding discs, ducts, and films made of fluorosilicone materials can maintain stable performance under extreme conditions such as high pressure and high temperature to ensure the normal operation of the ship system.
2. Fuel-resistant parts
Fluorosilicone can maintain the stability of its physical and chemical properties when it comes into contact with fuel oil, lubricating oil and other fuel-like substances, so it is very suitable for manufacturing fuel-resistant parts in ships. These parts include but are not limited to:
Shaft seals: important components used in ship propulsion systems, fluorosilicone shaft seals can ensure the tight sealing of the shaft and prevent the leakage of fuel and lubricating oil.
Butterfly valve disc: Fluorosilicone butterfly valve disc has good elasticity and wear resistance, and can maintain stable performance during long-term use.
Hydraulic press seals: In the hydraulic system of the ship, fluorosilicone seals can withstand the test of high pressure and high temperature to ensure the normal operation of the system.
3. Other applications
In addition to the above applications, fluorosilicone is also used to manufacture other key components in ships, such as:
Firewall seals: Fluorosilicone seals have excellent high temperature resistance, which can effectively prevent the spread of flames and smoke and improve the fire safety of ships.
Marine electronic equipment seals: Fluorosilicone is also widely used in the fields of electronics and communications. It can be used as a sealing material for electronic equipment to ensure the normal operation of equipment in various harsh environments.
4. Advantages analysis
The advantages of fluorosilicone in shipbuilding are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
Oil resistance and solvent resistance: Fluorosilicone can resist the erosion of substances such as fuel and lubricating oil to ensure the long-term stable operation of components.
High temperature and low temperature resistance: Fluorosilicone can maintain stable performance at extreme temperatures and is suitable for various harsh environments.
Excellent elasticity and sealing: Fluorosilicone has good elasticity and sealing, which can ensure the close connection of components and prevent leakage.
Long life: Fluorosilicone material has a long service life, which can reduce the frequency of replacement and maintenance and reduce the operating cost of ships.
In summary, fluorosilicone has broad application prospects and unique advantages in shipbuilding. With the continuous advancement of ship technology and the improvement of people's requirements for ship performance, the application of fluorosilicone will be more extensive and in-depth.
