Silicone: The term “silicone” covers a large group of materials in which vinyl-methyl-silicone is often the central ingredient. Silicone elastomers as a group have many useful properties. Silicones have these great qualities: heat resistance, cold flexibility and ozone and weather resistance as well as insulating and physiologically neutral properties. Temperature range: –65° to 450° F (–54° to 232° C).

Chemical resistance: engine and transmission oil (e.g. ASTM oil no. 1); animal and vegetable oil and grease; brake fluid (non-petroleum base); fire-resistant hydraulic fluid, HFD-R and HFD-S; high-molecular-weight chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbons (including flame-resistant insulators, and coolant for transformers); moderate water resistance; diluted salt solutions; ozone, aging and weather resistant. 

Fluorosilicone: Fluorosilicone contains trifluoropropyl groups and the mechanical and physical properties are very similar to silicone. However, fluorosilicone offers improved fuel and mineral-oil resistance but poor hot-air resistance when compared with silicone. Temperature range: –100° to 350° F (–73° to 177° C)

Chemical resistance: aromatic mineral oils (IRM 903 oil); fuels; low-molecular-weight aromatic hydrocarbons (benzene, toluene).
