Notes

The fluorosilicone gum produced by the reactive extrusion technology has higher quality and more stable than that produced by tank reactor technology, because the former can overcome the core problem during the polymerization. Moreover, we can obtain any types of fluorosilicone polymers using the reactive extrusion technology.
