Fluorolined silicone couplers are highly specialized and technologically advanced components used in various industrial applications that require a combination of excellent chemical resistance, high temperature tolerance, and reliable sealing capabilities. These couplers are designed to join and seal pipes, tubes, or other cylindrical structures, enabling the transfer of fluids or gases under demanding conditions.

The key feature of fluorolined silicone couplers lies in their construction, which incorporates a core made of high-quality silicone material lined with a fluoropolymer coating. The silicone core provides flexibility, elasticity, and resistance to compression, allowing the coupler to accommodate minor misalignments or vibrations while maintaining a secure connection. This flexibility also aids in installation, ensuring ease of use and reducing the risk of leaks.

The fluoropolymer lining, typically made of materials such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), perfluoroalkoxy (PFA), or fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP), enhances the coupler's chemical resistance. Fluoropolymers exhibit exceptional resistance to a wide range of aggressive chemicals, solvents, acids, and bases, making fluorolined silicone couplers suitable for applications involving corrosive fluids or environments. The lining also provides a smooth, non-stick surface, minimizing the risk of material buildup or contamination, and enabling easy cleaning and maintenance.

Furthermore, fluorolined silicone couplers excel in high-temperature environments. The silicone core provides excellent thermal resistance, allowing the couplers to withstand elevated temperatures without compromising their structural integrity. The fluoropolymer lining further enhances this capability, as it can withstand extreme temperatures while maintaining its chemical resistance and low friction properties.

In addition to their exceptional chemical resistance and high-temperature tolerance, fluorolined silicone couplers offer excellent sealing properties. The combination of the silicone core's elasticity and the non-stick properties of the fluoropolymer lining creates a reliable and tight seal, preventing leakage and ensuring efficient fluid or gas transfer.

Fluorolined silicone couplers find applications in a wide range of industries, including chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, automotive, aerospace, and more. They are commonly used in fluid transfer systems, exhaust and ventilation systems, laboratory equipment, and wherever there is a need for a durable, chemically resistant, and high-temperature coupler.

Please Note: The fluoro Silicone liner allows short term contact with these fluids and vapours, but is not suitable for permanent transfer (fuel or oil lines), or immersion in fuel or oil.
