What are the performance characteristics of Fluoroelastomer?

Fluororubber is a genus of special synthetic rubber, and its properties are quite unique, which is particularly commendable.
First, it has excellent thermal stability. Fluorubber can withstand extremely high temperatures, and can usually withstand temperatures of 200 degrees, or even more than 300 degrees. In the high temperature environment, its physical properties decline very slowly, and it will not lose elasticity and mechanical strength quickly. This is essential for sealing, transmission and other components under high temperature conditions.
Second, it has strong chemical resistance. Fluorubber has excellent resistance to various chemical media, such as strong acids, strong alkalis, organic solvents, etc. In case of such chemicals, it is not easy to swell and corrode, and can maintain the stability of its own structure and performance for a long time. It is widely used in chemical, petroleum and other fields involving chemical corrosion.
Third, good weather resistance. Exposed to sunlight and wind and rain for a long time, fluororubber is not easy to age, and its resistance to ozone and ultraviolet rays is excellent. It can be used in outdoor harsh environments for a long time without sharp loss of performance.
Fourth, good airtightness. The molecular structure of fluororubber is dense, and the gas transmission rate is extremely low. It can efficiently prevent gas leakage. It is effective for sealing purposes, such as tire airtight layer, sealing gasket, etc.
Fifth, good flame retardancy. Fluorine rubber contains fluorine elements, which are naturally flame retardant. It is difficult to burn in case of fire and emits less smoke when burning. It has high application value in places with strict fire safety requirements.
However, fluororubber is not flawless, its processing is difficult and the cost is relatively high, which may be the reason for the limited application. However, considering its performance characteristics, it plays a pivotal role in many high-end and special industrial scenarios and makes extraordinary contributions.

What are the advantages of Fluoroelastomer over other elastomers?

Compared with other elastomers, fluororubber has significant advantages. Fluororubber has excellent chemical resistance and can resist the erosion of many strengthening media, which is often difficult for other elastomers to achieve. From the perspective of "Tiangong Kaiwu", if various elastomers are compared to creations of different materials, fluororubber is like a specially quenched and refined utensil, which is tenacious in resisting the "power of erosion" of chemical substances.
Furthermore, fluororubber has outstanding high temperature resistance. It can maintain good elasticity and physical and mechanical properties in high temperature environments for a long time, and can withstand high temperatures that common elastomers cannot bear. This is like the utensil recorded in "Tiangong Kaiwu" that has been specially fired, which does not deform or damage at high temperatures and has unique stability.
Fluororubber also has good weather resistance. Exposure to harsh climatic conditions, such as sunlight and wind and rain erosion, its performance decays little. This is just like the durable objects described in "Tiangong Kaiwu", which can still maintain good condition after years and environmental changes.
In addition, fluororubber has excellent sealing performance and can achieve reliable sealing under various working conditions. In the fields of machinery, automobiles, etc., its sealing role is crucial to ensure the normal operation of the system. This is similar to the precision components mentioned in "Tiangong Kaiwu". It plays a key role in the overall structure and maintains the stability of the system.

What is the production process of Fluoroelastomer?

Fluorororubber is one of the special synthetic rubbers. It has excellent heat resistance, oil resistance and chemical corrosion resistance, and is widely used in aviation, automobiles, petroleum and other fields. Its production process is roughly as follows:
The first is monomer synthesis. To make fluororubber, fluorine-containing monomers such as vinylidene fluoride and hexafluoropropylene are often required. Taking vinylidene fluoride as an example, it is often obtained by thermal cracking reaction of difluorochloromethane. This reaction needs to be carried out under specific temperature, pressure and catalyst environment to obtain high-purity vinylidene fluoride monomer.
The second is the polymerization reaction. Polymerization is a key step in the production of fluororubber. Common polymerization methods include emulsion polymerization, solution polymerization and suspension polymerization. Emulsion polymerization is mostly used. In emulsion polymerization, monomers, water, emulsifiers, initiators, etc. are polymerized in the reactor. The emulsifier makes the monomer evenly dispersed in water to form an emulsion. The initiator is heated or activated by other means to promote the polymerization reaction between the monomer molecules and gradually form a polymer. In this process, precise temperature control, pressure control and reaction time are required to ensure that the molecular weight and structure of the polymer meet the requirements.
The other is the post-processing process. After the polymerization reaction is completed, the obtained polymer latex needs to be treated by coagulation, washing, drying, etc. During coagulation, the polymer particles in the latex are aggregated into larger particles by means of chemical reagents or changing temperature, pH value, etc., and precipitated from the water. Then it is washed repeatedly with water to remove the residual emulsifier, initiator and unreacted monomer. Drying is done by heating or vacuum drying to remove the moisture in the polymer to obtain fluororubber raw rubber.
The last is mixing and molding. The fluororubber raw rubber still needs to be mixed with vulcanizers, accelerators, fillers and other additives. The mixing is operated on a rubber mixer, so that the components are evenly dispersed in the rubber, giving the rubber vulcanization characteristics and required physical and mechanical properties. The mixed rubber is formed into the desired shape product through molding processes, such as molding, extrusion, injection, etc., and then vulcanized to form a cross-linked structure between the rubber molecules, improving the rubber strength, elasticity and heat resistance.

What is the market price range for Fluoroelastomer?

Fluororubber is one of the special synthetic rubbers. It is widely used in many industrial fields due to its excellent heat resistance, oil resistance, chemical corrosion resistance and other characteristics. As for its market price range, it is difficult to generalize, because there are many factors around the audience, resulting in price fluctuations.
The first to bear the brunt, there are many types and models of fluororubber, each with its own characteristics and application scenarios, which is the key to affecting the price. Common such as general-purpose fluororubber, because the performance is slightly inferior to high-end special manufacturers, the price is relatively low. High-end special fluororubber, because of its excellent special properties, is used in high-precision fields such as aerospace and high-end automobile manufacturing, and the price remains high.
Furthermore, the price fluctuations of raw materials have a deep impact on the price of fluororubber. The preparation of fluororubber requires specific fluorine-containing monomers and other raw materials. If the price of fluororubber rises and falls due to scarcity of resources and changes in market supply and demand, the cost and selling price of fluororubber will also fluctuate.
The complexity of the production process also affects its price. Advanced and complex production processes can produce high-quality fluororubber, but their cost is also high, and the price is naturally high. The simpler process, the product quality may be inferior, and the price is relatively close to the people.
The market supply and demand situation is also an important factor affecting the price. If the demand for fluororubber in a certain field increases sharply at a certain time, and the supply is difficult to keep up in time, the price will rise; on the contrary, if the market demand is sluggish and the supply is excessive, the price will decline.
Roughly speaking, the price per kilogram of ordinary grade fluororubber may be hundreds of yuan, while for high-end and special purposes, the price per kilogram can reach thousands of yuan, or even higher. Therefore, in order to determine the exact price of fluororubber, it is necessary to study and judge in detail according to the specific type, current market conditions and other factors.
