Properties of Fluorosilicone rubber washers
Cannon Gasket cuts Fluorosilicone rubber washers to your specifications in durometers ranging from 10A to 90A Shore hardness. Fluorosilicone exhibits resistance to fuels, oils, aromatic solvents, ozone, oxidizing chemicals, and chlorinated solvents.
Fluorosilicone tolerances and customization
Standard dimensional tolerances on Fluorosilicone rubber washers land around ±0.010" to ±0.015" on OD and ID, depending on material durometer and thickness. Tighter tolerances are available on selected grades. Cannon Gasket cuts Fluorosilicone to custom profiles in-house and matches lead times to your production volume. PSA backing, pad printing, custom packaging, and kitting are all on the menu when you need them.
How Fluorosilicone Performs in Washer Applications
- Resistant to fuels, oils, aromatic hydrocarbons, and many oxidizing chemicals. - Retains silicone's flexibility across the thermal range.
Common Washer Applications
Aerospace fuel-system bolt sealing washers, defense hardware seals, aviation hydraulics, semiconductor process equipment, and any application where silicone's temperature range is needed but chemical exposure rules out plain silicone.
When Another Material Is the Better Specification
Silicone when chemical contact is not a concern (more economical). Buna-N at moderate temperatures with oil only.
Manufacturing Methods
Die-cut, lathe-cut. Clean room production available.
Standard sizes, tolerances & manufacturing
Precision & tooling: Capable of holding tolerances as tight as ±.001" on critical dimensions when required, beyond the ±0.010" to ±0.015" standard. Short- and long-run capabilities. All parts available with pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) on one or two sides.
Clean room: Cannon Gasket offers clean-environment stamping for medical, FDA, electronic, and scientific applications where a controlled level of particulate is required, with capabilities to meet ISO Class 10,000.
Stocking agreements: Blanket orders, VMI (vendor-managed inventory), JIT (just-in-time), and Kanban replenishment programs.
Pad printing: Pad print your part number, identification marking, or company name in a range of ink colors. Marking per customer specifications or MIL-STD-130.
Packaging: Parts are bagged and tagged in specified quantities and labeled with P/N or any required information. Capability to meet specific packaging and labeling requirements.
