BF2520 is a typical metal rubber coating material, which is mainly used for manufacturing multi-layer cylinder head gaskets. The rubber coating is high temperature resistant fluorine rubber coating, and the metal core is stainless steel 301. Material overall thickness is 0.25mm. We also call this material soft metal material, which is made of thin iron plate, stainless steel plate, aluminum plate or other metal plate coated with synthetic rubber on its surface. It combines the rigidity of metal and the elasticity of rubber. It can be used to make automotive parts, machine parts, electronic equipment parts. And can be used as sound insulation and vibration prevention materials. The short-term maximum operation temperature for BF2520 could up to 250℃.

High Temperature Resistance: Fluorine rubber can maintain good performance at high temperatures, and can work for a long time at 200 ℃~250 ℃.
Oil Resistance: Fluorine rubber has excellent oil resistance, and can seal inorganic acids, organic solvents and other chemical substances.
High Vacuum And A Variety Of Chemicals Resistance: Fluorine rubber in high temperature, high vacuum and a variety of chemicals in the environment can still maintain good performance.
Corrosion Resistance: Fluorine rubber has high chemical stability, strong corrosion resistance, can be used in a variety of chemical industry.
Atmospheric Aging Resistance: Fluorine rubber is not easy to age in the air, long-term exposure in the air will not harden or soften.
Good Physical And Mechanical Properties: Fluorine rubber has advantages in resilience, compressive strength, elongation at break and so on.
Rubber coated metal material (RCM) have a wide range of applications.
1. Automotive industry: RCM can be used to make auto parts, such as gaskets, shock absorber parts, suspension system parts, etc. Because of the good flexibility and wear resistance of metal rubber composites, it can effectively dampen and absorb the vibration caused by road bumps, improve driving comfort and stability. At the same time, metal rubber can also prevent water, dust and other external substances from entering the interior of the car, improve the sealing of the car. In addition, the processing technology of metal rubber coatings can also be extended from the bonding of rubber and metal to the bonding of rubber and plastic and fiber fabric. With the increase of the types of composite products and the expansion of the application field, the requirements for bonding technology are becoming higher and higher, and the application prospect of metal rubber coatings is broad.
2. Industrial Machinery: This material can be used for sealing components in heavy machinery that operate under harsh conditions, such as turbines, boilers, and heat exchangers.
3. Oil and Gas Industry: BF2520 can be used in the production of seals and gaskets for pipelines, valves, and other equipment that handle high-pressure and high-temperature fluids.
Please note that these are general recommendations based on the general operation conditions.
