Recent breakthroughs have been made in the preparation of vinyl fluorosilicone fluid. Through an improved hydrosilylation reaction, product purity has been increased to over 99.5%, while residual catalyst content is controlled below 5 ppm, significantly reducing performance fluctuations during high-temperature operation. The use of a new platinum-based catalyst has increased the reaction conversion rate from 85% in conventional processes to 98%, boosting production efficiency by nearly 30% while also reducing byproduct emissions.
Vinyl fluorosilicone fluid exhibits significant environmental advantages. The fluorine-carbon bonds in its molecular structure make it resistant to microbial degradation, yet it maintains chemical stability in the natural environment, avoiding the production of toxic decomposition products. Compared to traditional fluororubber, its production process reduces VOC emissions by 40%, meeting all EU REACH regulations.
The recyclability of this material is also of particular concern. Through a specialized depolymerization process, discarded vinyl fluorosilicone fluid products can be converted back into monomer feedstock, with a recovery rate exceeding 75%, significantly reducing the burden on industrial waste disposal. In applications in the automotive industry, the service life of seals using this material is extended to 15 years, indirectly reducing resource consumption and waste generation.
