From deep-sea trenches to outer space, fluorosilicone and phenyl silicone rubber materials provide critical performance under conditions of extreme pressure, temperature, and chemical exposure, supporting scientific and industrial exploration missions.
In deep-sea applications, specialized fluorosilicone sealants and potting compounds protect underwater robotics, sensors, and connectors from high pressure and corrosion, ensuring reliable operation of electronics in subsea environments.
Space exploration relies on materials that perform across ultra-wide temperature ranges and resist radiation. Methyl phenyl vinyl silicone rubber maintains elasticity from -100°C to over 200°C and is used in spacecraft seals and thermal protection components. Fluorosilicone millable gum seals are utilized in propulsion systems for their fuel and temperature resistance.
On Earth, these materials also perform in polar, desert, and high-temperature industrial settings. As commercial space and deep-sea activities expand, ongoing advances in fluorosilicone technology will further enhance reliability and durability for extreme-environment applications.
