Design fuel connectors with performance and processing advantages

Proven SILASTIC® brand fluorosilicone rubber (FSR) elastomers are the materials of choice for sealing fuel lines that will be exposed to extremely low or extremely high temperatures. They:

• Resist fuels, oils, and solvents that would degrade organic rubbers
• Maintain their mechanical properties over a wider range of temperatures, from -40 to 200ºC (-40 to 392ºF)
• Can be tailored to meet your fuel connector requirements for fuel resistance and swelling characteristics.

Improve manufacturing productivity

Couple the outstanding oil and fuel resistance of fluorosilicone elastomers with the processing efficiencies of a liquid silicone rubber (LSR).

SILASTIC fluoro liquid silicone rubber (F-LSR) elastomers enable:

• Fast cycle times
• Advanced mold design and process automation
• State-of-the-art fabricating methods, such as over-molding of plastic connectors
• Reduced scrap and waste

Give your fuel connectors marketable advantages Improve sealing performance   Design fuel connectors that: Operate reliably in extreme conditions of temperature, pressure, and fuel exposure. Create protective seals to exclude fuel from critical connections   Learn More Withstand temperature extremes   Manufacture fuel line connectors that: Retain their natural flexibility and continue to perform at low and high temperatures that would cause most organic elastomers to become brittle or degrade.   Learn More Specify the right elastomer For fuel connectors, we recommend a compound of fluorosilicone rubber (FSR) formulated for molding or calender processes in a wide range of hardnesses, pigmented, with excellent fuel resistance and compression set properties, and flexible at very low temperatures. Take advantage of our compounding expertise We can tailor or custom compound silicone elastomers to help you achieve the best processing efficiency and performance value.
