FVMQ FluoroSilicone Rubber Cord
Fluorosilicone rubber cord, often abbreviated as FVMQ, is a specialized type of elastomer known for its exceptional resistance to a wide range of chemicals, oils, fuels, and extreme temperatures. This unique combination of properties makes FVMQ cords particularly well-suited for demanding applications in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and oil and gas.
FVMQ cords are formulated by incorporating fluorine into a silicone rubber matrix, enhancing its resistance to hydrocarbons and other harsh chemicals. This makes them suitable for sealing applications in environments where conventional silicone rubber might degrade or fail.
Additionally, FVMQ cords offer excellent thermal stability, maintaining their flexibility and mechanical properties across a broad temperature range, typically from -60°C to 200°C (-76°F to 392°F) or higher in some cases. This makes them ideal for use in both extreme cold and high-temperature environments.
Furthermore, FVMQ cords exhibit good resistance to ozone, weathering, and aging, ensuring long-term performance and reliability even in outdoor or harsh environmental conditions.
Common applications for FVMQ rubber cords include seals, gaskets, O-rings, and other sealing elements used in aerospace engines, automotive fuel systems, oil drilling equipment, and chemical processing plants.
Overall, FVMQ fluorosilicone rubber cords offer exceptional chemical resistance, temperature stability, and durability, making them indispensable components in critical sealing applications where reliability and performance are paramount.
