In the power transmission chain, transformers are hailed as the "energy hubs," and their stable operation directly impacts the electricity safety of countless households.  Supporting the long-term operation of this core equipment, in addition to precise circuit design, is a crucial yet often overlooked material—transformer-specific fluorosilicone rubber.  It acts like a "protective armor" for the transformer, silently resisting the erosion of extreme environments and chemical agents, safeguarding the security of power transmission.

Many people might be curious why fluorosilicone rubber is uniquely suited for this "protective role."  This stems from its special material composition. Fluorosilicone rubber is a high-performance elastomer made from fluorosilicone raw rubber as the base material, combined with various fillers and additives through uniform mixing. Its core advantage lies in combining the characteristics of both fluororubber and silicone rubber, addressing the shortcomings of traditional silicone rubber in oil and solvent resistance, and overcoming the poor low-temperature performance of fluororubber. This makes it an ideal material for the complex working environment of transformers.

Ease of processing is a major highlight of fluorosilicone rubber compounds. Transformer sealing structures are complex and diverse, placing high demands on the molding and processing of the accompanying materials. This rubber compound possesses excellent plasticity, easily adapting to various production processes, whether compression molding or extrusion molding.  Molding can be completed without complex processing equipment, significantly improving the production efficiency of transformer sealing components while also ensuring the dimensional accuracy of the molded product, guaranteeing a perfect fit with the transformer components.

Stable and reliable mechanical performance is the fundamental guarantee for protecting transformers. Transformers generate slight vibrations during operation, and prolonged use may lead to component aging and wear. Fluorosilicone rubber compounds possess high tensile strength and excellent elasticity, maintaining structural integrity even under prolonged vibration and impact, and are less prone to cracking or deformation. Experimental data shows that high-quality fluorosilicone rubber compounds specifically designed for transformers can achieve a tensile strength of over 8.0 MPa and a maximum elongation at break of up to 550%, sufficient to withstand the mechanical wear and tear during the long-term operation of transformers.

In terms of adaptability to harsh environments, fluorosilicone rubber compounds demonstrate exceptional capabilities.  Transformers generate heat during operation, and some outdoor transformers must withstand alternating high and low temperatures, rain and snow erosion, and contact with chemical media such as transformer oil. This compound maintains stable performance across a wide temperature range of -60℃ to 200℃, remaining flexible at low temperatures and undeformed at high temperatures. Its excellent oil and solvent resistance effectively resists corrosion from transformer oil, exhibiting minimal volume change after immersion.  Furthermore, it possesses low dielectric loss in transformer oil, ensuring it does not affect the transformer's insulation performance.

In today's power industry, where the demands for equipment reliability are constantly increasing, the value of fluorosilicone rubber compounds is becoming increasingly prominent.  Especially in major power projects such as the "West-to-East Power Transmission" and the Sichuan-Tibet power grid interconnection, the extreme environments impose even stricter requirements for transformer protection.  Fluorosilicone rubber compounds, with their comprehensive performance advantages, provide long-lasting sealing protection for transformers in these critical projects, extending equipment lifespan and reducing maintenance costs.  Furthermore, its excellent resistance to aging, UV radiation, and ozone corrosion allows transformers to operate stably for many years in complex outdoor environments, reducing the frequency of maintenance outages and ensuring the continuity of power supply.
