Basic types and functional characteristics of fluororubber
Fluororubber (FKM) is a special type of elastomer that contains fluorine and has unique chemical and physical properties. It is widely used in aerospace engineering, vehicles, chemical engineering, and other fields. This article will provide a detailed introduction to the basic types and functional characteristics of fluororubber.
Fluororubber can be mainly divided into three basic types: fluorocarbon rubber, fluorosilicone rubber, and fluorophosphonitrile rubber. Among these rubbers, fluorocarbon rubber is a relatively common and widely used type.
Fluorocarbon rubber:
Fluorocarbon rubber is a synthetic polymer elastomer containing fluorine atoms on the carbon atoms of the main or side chains. It is known for its excellent high temperature resistance, chemical resistance, weather resistance, oxidation resistance, oil resistance, and low breathability. Fluorocarbon rubber is generally composed of two or more types, such as vinylidene fluoride (VDF), tetrafluoroethylene (TFE), and ethylene.
Fluorosilicone rubber:
Fluorosilicone rubber combines the characteristics of fluororubber and silicone rubber, and has excellent resistance to high and low temperatures, oil, and chemical corrosion. It has unique practical value in some special industries such as aerospace engineering and medical equipment.
Fluorinated phosphonitrile rubber:
Fluorinated phosphonitrile rubber is a type of fluororubber with a unique chemical structure, which not only has the general advantages of fluororubber, but also has good thermal stability and chemical corrosion resistance. However, due to its high production cost, its application scope is relatively narrow.
