Fluorosilicones
Compounding fluorosilicones
for you
Fluorosilicones (or FVMQ) are a class of silicone rubber with fluorocarbon pendant groups. They have a greatly improved chemical resistance compared to standard silicone rubber. Fluorosilicones provide excellent resistance to fuel and oil in operating temperatures from −50 °F to +400 °F.
Fluorosilicone can be blended with various other silicones, fillers and curing agents to meet tough industry specifications.

Typical
applications
Fluorosilicones are recommended in applications where improved chemical resistance is needed. These include:
- Connectors for cables and fuel pipes
- Seals and gaskets for fuel tanks
- Inner liners for turbo charger hoses for cars and trucks
O-rings, gaskets, seals and precision-molded parts for applications that resist swelling
Manufacturing
We compound high-quality, ready-to-process fluorosilicones that can be compression or injection-molded, extruded and calendered into almost any size, shape and thickness.
At our large testing facilities, we can test a specific formulation catering to your manufacturing process.
