Methyl fluorosilicone oil has recently achieved systemic innovation in the fields of cutting-edge precision manufacturing and long-life lubrication technology. Through in-depth molecular structure design and functional modification, this material has successfully unified ultra-wide temperature range lubrication stability, compatibility with extreme chemical media, and environmental friendliness. It has become a key foundational material supporting the advancement of high-end equipment in semiconductor manufacturing, commercial aerospace, and high-speed rail transportation toward next-generation technology platforms.
Research data indicates that the new-generation methyl fluorosilicone oil exhibits nearly constant viscosity-temperature characteristics within a range of -70°C to 300°C, with a viscosity index exceeding 350. Its high-temperature evaporation loss is reduced by over 40% compared to the previous generation. In extreme environments such as strongly oxidizing media (e.g., fuming nitric acid) and ultra-high vacuum (<10⁻⁷ Pa), its lubricating film retention rate remains above 95%. In the core semiconductor manufacturing process of extreme ultraviolet lithography machines, as the sole designated lubricant for vacuum motion mechanisms and precision ceramic bearings, its exceptional cleanliness and stability are core factors ensuring the yield of advanced process nodes.
In the commercial aerospace sector, methyl fluorosilicone oil has been successfully applied in the turbopump bearing systems of reusable rocket engines. It not only withstands the harsh conditions of liquid oxygen-kerosene oxygen-rich combustion environments but also maintains stable performance after multiple recovery and reuse cycles, significantly reducing the cost per launch. In the levitation and guidance systems of 600 km/h high-speed maglev trains, its long-life lubrication solution extends the maintenance interval for critical components to over 1.5 million kilometers, driving a transformation in rail transit operation and maintenance models.
Particularly significant is that methyl fluorosilicone oil is leading lubrication technology toward “zero environmental burden” and “intelligence.” The self-healing intelligent lubrication system developed based on it enables online repair of wear sites through microcapsule technology, extending the service life of critical equipment by 50%. Its full-lifecycle biodegradable products have completed application validation in multi-megawatt offshore wind turbine gearboxes, achieving a harmony between high-performance lubrication and ecological environmental protection. Experts point out that methyl fluorosilicone oil has evolved from a functional material into a strategic platform technology driving high-end equipment toward ultimate reliability, extended lifespan, and sustainable development, with broad market prospects.
