One of the most frequently asked questions we receive regarding rubber keypads: Is there a rubber keypad material that is oil and fuel resistant? You’ve come to the right place, because we have extensive experience utilizing fluorosilicone material for such applications.

Fluorosilicone rubber is similar to silicone rubber but with fluorine properties. Similar to silicone, fluorosilcone is a stable and extremely durable elastomer that resists compression across temperature extremes. But unlike silicone, fluorosilicone contains trifluoropropyl groups that enhance its chemical resistance to non-polar solvents, fuels, oils, acids, and alkaline chemicals.

Fluorosilicone Advantages:

1. Oil, fuel, solvent and chemically resistant.

2. Heat and cold resistant.

3. Can be decorated using specially formulated inks and treatment agents.
