As the automotive industry shifts towards high efficiency and low emissions, turbocharging technology has become a mainstream feature. However, the operating environment of turbocharging systems is extremely demanding – the turbocharger can reach temperatures of 150-200℃ during operation, and even exceed 250℃ under some extreme conditions. Furthermore, the turbocharger pipes are constantly exposed to fuel media such as gasoline and diesel, and must also withstand the mechanical shock caused by engine vibrations. This makes traditional rubber materials increasingly inadequate for the task.Ordinary silicone rubber lacks sufficient fuel resistance and is prone to swelling and cracking after prolonged use. Although fluororubber is resistant to oil and high temperatures, its complex processing technology and poor adhesion to other materials lead to low production efficiency. Therefore, material selection has become a key bottleneck restricting the upgrading of the automotive parts industry.
Addressing the core demands of turbocharging technology, a specialized fluorosilicone rubber compound for turbocharger hoses has been developed. This specialized material, based on a fluorosilicone elastomer, achieves a performance breakthrough through a unique formulation process, becoming the "optimal solution" for addressing the durability issues of turbocharger hoses. In terms of core performance, it perfectly achieves a "dual balance": it inherits the excellent fuel resistance of fluororubber, capable of long-term resistance to gasoline, diesel, and various fuel additives, preventing swelling, aging, and leakage, thus ensuring the sealing performance and service life of the turbocharger hose;It also inherits the excellent high and low-temperature resistance characteristics of silicone rubber, maintaining good elasticity and mechanical properties over a wide temperature range of -50℃ to 250℃. It performs reliably whether during cold starts in harsh winter conditions or continuous operation under high-temperature conditions.Even more noteworthy are its processing advantages. Traditional materials often face problems such as "difficult bonding and complex vulcanization" during production, while this fluorosilicone compound can be directly calendered and co-vulcanized with methyl silicone rubber. This eliminates the need for additional surface treatment or special additives. This characteristic not only simplifies the production process and reduces processing costs but also improves product yield, allowing component manufacturers to enhance product quality while maintaining production efficiency.
The advantages of fluorosilicone rubber are not limited to automotive turbocharger hoses; thanks to its core characteristics of resistance to high and low temperatures, fuel resistance, and ease of processing, it has demonstrated broad applicability in various industrial scenarios. In the field of mechanical equipment, various oil-resistant components that come into contact with lubricating oil and hydraulic oil, such as industrial hydraulic system oil pipes and engine oil-resistant hoses, can benefit from its excellent oil resistance and stability, thereby improving the reliability of equipment operation.In the field of new energy vehicles, key components such as battery cooling system pipelines and high-temperature resistant seals for electric motors can utilize its wide temperature range adaptability to ensure the safe operation of new energy vehicles in extreme environments. Furthermore, in fields with stringent material performance requirements, such as construction machinery and marine power systems, this fluorosilicone rubber compound can also play a crucial role, providing stable material support for various oil-resistant and high-temperature resistant pipe fittings.
