- Posted By: Dominic Testo
- Category Featured, Fluorosilicones

Fluorosilicones are silicone-based elastomers that contain fluorine additions for improved oil and fuel resistance. Like other silicone compounds, they exhibit excellent stability over a wide range of temperatures, typically from -60° C to +200° C. Fluorosilicones also provide good compression set and resilience, and can withstand ultraviolet (UV) light, ozone, and chlorinated and aromatic hydrocarbons. Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) supplies a complete line of fluorosilicones in a [...]
Fluorosilicones White Paper for Designers and Fabricators
- Posted By: Dominic Testo
- Category Featured, Fluorosilicones

Design engineers and gasket fabricators like fluorosilicones because these elastomers combine the high and low temperature resistance of silicones with the fuel and oil resistance of fluorocarbons. Yet all fluorosilicone rubber isn’t the same. Some materials meet general-purpose or application-specific sealing requirements. Others are filled with metal-coated particles for EMI shielding. If you need a fluorosilicone for your next sealing or shielding project, what’s the right type [...]
