One cannot simply rely on the hardness of 35 Shore A for product FLSR7435 or the volume change rate of 24.0% for Fuel C to directly determine its suitability for all oil-based environment sealing, encapsulation, or low-temperature resistant systems. One should first confirm the A/B mixing ratio, degassing process, cleanliness of the substrate surface, environmental cleanliness, curing temperature and time, and then determine whether the problem lies in uneven mixing, poisoning of the platinum catalyst, insufficient depth of room temperature curing, or poor compatibility with the substrate and medium. Product FLSR7435 can be considered as a candidate for room temperature curing liquid fluorosilicone rubber, but it must be confirmed through small-scale tests, curing verification, and medium immersion tests.
Why do two-component liquid fluorosilicone rubbers often fail to cure at room temperature or do not meet expected performance?
The A/B component mixing ratio deviates from 1:1 or the mixing is not sufficient, resulting in insufficient local crosslinking density or incomplete curing.
The gel solution comes into contact with compounds containing nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus, and heavy metals, causing poisoning of the platinum catalyst, incomplete or non-sulfurization.
Insufficient vacuum degassing, with residual bubbles in the gel layer, affecting tensile strength, tear strength, and sealing reliability.
Insufficient room temperature curing time of less than 48 hours, or an environmental temperature lower than 25℃ ± 5℃, leading to incomplete deep curing.
The substrate surface is not cleaned or is contaminated with oil, release agents, or oxidation layers, affecting adhesion and sealing effectiveness.
The Fuel C medium exceeds the verification conditions (25℃ × 72h), resulting in excessive volume change rate after long-term immersion or exposure to high-temperature media.
The compressive permanent deformation is 21% higher, resulting in insufficient rebound when used in low-pressure sealing scenarios, and the actual compression rate and temperature need to be evaluated.

How to design tests before using the product FLSR7435?
Establish a benchmark for the current sealant or potting compound, record the model, batch, mixing ratio, curing conditions and failure performance.
Uniform test conditions: substrate, surface treatment, primer, mixing ratio, defoaming process, curing temperature and time.
Set candidate samples: current compound, product FLSR7435, different curing conditions or primer gradients.
Complete the full process tests: mixing → defoaming → applying or potting → curing → performance testing → immersion in media.
Evaluate actual results: hardness, strength, elongation, tear strength, compression permanent deformation, volume change rate, recovery elasticity.
Test items Uniform requirements
Substrate and surface treatment Consistent
Mixing ratio A:B = 1:1
Defoaming process Consistent
Curing conditions Graduated according to test design
Environmental cleanliness Prevent contamination by platinum poisons
Immersion conditions of media According to actual working conditions
Measurement methods Hardness, strength, elongation, tear strength, compression permanent deformation, volume change rate, recovery elasticity are consistent
Under which circumstances should the product FLSR7435 not be directly used?
If the substrate surface is not cleaned or not coated with primer, it affects adhesion.
There are platinum catalyst poisons such as N, P, S and heavy metals in the environment, causing non-curing.
The mixing ratio is inaccurate or the stirring is insufficient, resulting in incomplete curing.
Vacuum defoaming is insufficient, with residual bubbles in the adhesive layer, affecting sealing and mechanical properties.
Specific food contact, medical or airworthiness approval is required, but corresponding materials have not been obtained.
The contact medium exceeds the verification range of Fuel C, such as ketones, esters, strong acids.
The operating temperature exceeds the application range of fluorosilicone rubber.
Only the medium type is known, without substrate, mixing ratio and curing condition data.
The customer requests to directly mix into the in-use system, but cannot control the mixing ratio and defoaming conditions.
Storage conditions do not meet the requirements of shaded and unopened, and the adhesive may absorb moisture or expire.
For strict requirements on compression permanent deformation, but the typical value of 21% of the product does not meet the low-pressure variation scenario, it needs to be evaluated or selected for other models.
Poor ventilation in the operating environment, platinum poisons or by-products affect the health of the operators.
Ayoata can provide which selection support?

Substrate type and surface treatment method.
Contact medium type, concentration and temperature.
Operating temperature range and low-temperature requirements.
Mixing ratio, defoaming process and curing conditions.
Soldering thickness and deep curing requirements.
Target hardness, strength, elongation, compression permanent deformation and volume change rate.
Current rubber compound model, mixing ratio and failure performance.
Acceptance method and applicable standards.
After receiving complete materials, it can be determined whether to prioritize testing product FLSR7435, or choose single-component fluorosilicone sealant FLSR4000 or other oil-resistant soldering sealant routes.
Common Misconceptions
The A/B mixing ratio can have a slight deviation.
A 1:1 ratio is the mass ratio, and deviation may lead to incomplete curing or performance degradation. Precise control is necessary.
After 48 hours at room temperature, the final performance can be achieved.
48 hours is a typical curing condition. Longer times may be required for deep filling or in low-temperature environments, and verification based on actual thickness is necessary.
The platinum catalyst poison can be ignored.
Contact with compounds containing N, P, S, and heavy metals in the adhesive liquid can cause insufficient or non-sulfurization, and the environmental cleanliness must be strictly controlled.
Compatible with the substrate allows for direct gluing.
It is still necessary to confirm surface cleanliness, primer application, mixing ratio, defoaming, and long-term oil immersion stability.
The performance at 25°C is the same, so it can be replaced in equal amounts.
Different fluorosilicone liquid adhesives have different fluorine contents, crosslinking densities, and curing characteristics. Revalidation is necessary when replacing.
A 21% compression permanent deformation can meet all sealing requirements.
For low-pressure variable scenarios, the actual compression rate, temperature, and time need to be evaluated. The typical value of 21% may be too high, and it needs to be optimized through formulation or process.
The product FLSR7435 can be used for all oil-resistant sealing.
Fluorosilicone liquid adhesives are suitable for oil environments and low-temperature conditions. For systems with higher temperatures or stronger chemical media requirements, other elastomers may need to be selected.
It can still be used normally after twelve months of storage.
The unopened original packaging has a storage period of twelve months. After the expiration date, the mixing ratio, viscosity, and curing activity need to be retested.
Recommendation for selection steps
Confirm the application direction: oil-resistant sealing, electronic sealing, flange sealing, or low-temperature sealing components.
Confirm the substrate type and surface treatment method.
Confirm the contact medium, operating temperature, and low-temperature requirements.
Confirm the mixing ratio, defoaming process, and curing conditions.
Confirm the filling thickness and deep curing requirements.
Select product FLSR7435 or other oil-resistant sealing adhesives based on the application scenario.
Set up different curing conditions, primer application, and mixing ratio gradients for small tests.
Test hardness, strength, elongation, tear strength, and compression permanent deformation.
Perform medium immersion, low-temperature performance, and high-temperature aging verification.
Evaluate the sealing or sealing reliability and batch consistency.
Confirm that environmental cleanliness control (avoiding platinum poison) is in place.
After multiple batch validations, determine the official usage plan.
