The industrial development and market demand of fluororubber

Fluororubber, as a high-performance elastomer material, has been widely applied in multiple industrial fields due to its unique excellent properties such as high-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and oil resistance, and has demonstrated strong market demand and development potential. This article will take you on a deep dive into the industrial development history, current market situation and future demand trends of fluororubber.

I. The Industrial Development History of Fluororubber

The industrialization of fluororubber began in the middle of the 20th century. With the advancement of technology and the development of industrialization, fluororubber gradually moved from the laboratory to large-scale production. China's fluororubber industry began in 1958. In the early stage, polyolefin fluororubbers such as type 23 and type 26 were mainly developed. Subsequently, new varieties such as tetrafluoroethylene fluororubber, perfluoroether rubber, and phosphorus fluoride rubber were also developed. These fluororubbers were first applied in the defense and military fields such as aviation and aerospace, and have gradually been extended to industrial fields such as automobiles, shipbuilding, chemicals, petroleum, telecommunications, instruments, and machinery.

In recent years, China's fluororubber industry has made considerable progress. Large-scale fluororubber enterprises represented by Haohua Technology, Dongyue Group and Meilan Chemical have achieved large-scale production of fluororubber through technological innovation and industrial upgrading, and continuously improved product quality and technological level. At present, China has become one of the world's major producers of fluororubber, with both its output and market size ranking among the top in the world.

Ii. Current Market Situation of Fluororubber

At present, the market demand for fluororubber continues to grow, mainly due to its wide application in multiple industrial fields.
