Fluorosilicone Gaskets

Fluorosilicone (FVMQ) combines the temperature stability of silicone with enhanced resistance to fuels, oils, and aggressive chemicals.

Stockwell Elastomerics manufactures custom fluorosilicone gaskets, seals, and molded components for OEM applications where standard silicone materials are not sufficient.

Engineered for performance in harsh environments.

Why Fluorosilicone?

Fluorosilicone is commonly specified when applications require resistance to jet fuel, diesel, and gasoline. These versatile materials are also compatible with many oils and hydraulic fluids that can be found around heavy machinery. They offer a wide temperature performance range and long-term environmental durability. Fluorosilicone sponges resist compression and offer superb sealing performance.

It is often used in aerospace, defense, transportation, and industrial systems where chemical exposure and temperature extremes occur simultaneously.

Custom Fabrication & Molding

We manufacture fluorosilicone components using a variety of production methods including waterjet cutting, precision die cutting, flash cutting, and compression molding. The production method employed for your project varies depending on the part. Waterjet cutting may be used early on in development for rapid prototyping but also may be suited for smaller runs or narrow part geometries. Flash cutting is used only for adhesive-backed parts where a kiss cut on a liner for easy removal and installation.

Compression molding of silicone and fluorosilicone compounds is one of our specialized in-house capabilities.

Applications

Fluorosilicone gaskets are commonly used in:

• Aerospace and defense systems
• Fuel handling and fluid systems
• Environmental enclosure sealing
• Ruggedized electronic equipment
• Industrial equipment exposed to oils and solvents

Our applications engineers assist with material selection based on fuel compatibility, temperature range, compression set requirements, and long-term durability.
