Fluoroelastomers are high quality synthetic rubbers that are resistant to a varied range of chemicals, fluids, oils and gases which make it applicable across various industries. They are extensively used in automotive industry because of their potential to reduce emissions. They are used in different automotive parts like fuel pipe lining, fuel injector O-rings and fuel hoses & seals. Automotive industry has ever-green demand for materials that possess the capability to operate efficiently in harsh environment and high temperature. Fluoroelastomer fits into the category due to its superior resistance and is highly demanded.
Aerospace uses Fluoroelastomers
Fluoroelastomers are also used in aerospace and oil and gas industry as seals of agitators and pumps for they need protection from corrosive environment. Use of electronic devices has increased which in turn propels the global Fluoroelastomers market. Fluoroelastomers are actively used in wrist watch bands for their positive attributes like durability and chemical inertness towards a range of chemicals. Major smart watch manufacturers like Apple and Samsung are exploiting Fluoroelastomers to the maximum and are increasingly introducing it in their watches. New graders of Fluoroelastomers have been introduced by major players alike Shin-Etsu. These grades are found to be very effective in applications like adhesives & coatings, electronic circuit & printed circuit board with high frequency semiconductor devices and printers.

Technological advancements are boosting the global Fluoroelastomers market. IoT is inculcated in Fluoroelastomers to bring forth advanced and futuristic applications. Many components like carbon black are compounded with Fluoroelastomers to create new desired variety with enhanced performance. Sumitomo Electric is one of the major players to do so and it has developed a flexible heat resistant tube of Fluoroelastomers. This tube can efficiently operate at low temperature of -40 degrees and high temperature of 200 degrees Celsius. Increased application of Fluoroelastomers in electronics have opened doors to huge opportunities in global Fluoroelastomers market.
Monomers are cross-linked to produce new type
Other method to create new product is to cross link co-polymers. Fluorocarbon elastomers consist of four types of Fluoroelastomers that are created by this cross linking technique. Different byproducts of cross linked monomers are dipolymer, pentapolymers and terpolymers. These blended Fluoroelastomers are generally created for specific application.

The total capacity of Fluoroelastomers amounts to 50KT of which 22kT capacity is owned by China. Leading Chinese manufacturers are the ones that gain from this capacity as their produced product is of superior quality than the local manufacturers. Chinese manufacturers avail the advantages like low production cost, cheap labor and easy raw materials availability. Solvay S.A sells FKM and FFKM elastomers under the brand name Technoflon. Its production sites are located in Italy and China. This company is expanding its capacity in these regions and this expansion is expected to increase the global production capability of Fluoroelastomers production by 30%.
AGC Inc. has significant presence in Japan. It is creating a new type of Fluoroelastomer to use in applications like high voltage charging cables that are installed in electric vehicles.
