The United States paid the most for fluorosilicone rubber in Q3 2026: USD 39.00/KG, up 1.5% from USD 38.42/KG in Q2. Aerospace grades, high labor costs and steady demand from aerospace and automotive makers keep American prices above the other three markets. Worldwide, the average rose 1.4% to USD 33.00/KG from USD 32.55/KG, mostly because higher silicone, fluorine and energy costs and firm demand from automotive, aerospace and electronics makers led producers to raise prices in all four markets. What about Q4 2026? We expect a global average somewhere in the USD 32.17-34.81/KG range, with silicone and fluorine prices, energy costs, demand from automotive and aerospace makers and electric vehicle output doing most of the work.
Fluorosilicone rubber is a synthetic elastomer that combines the temperature range of silicone with the fuel and oil resistance of fluorinated polymers. It is used in seals, gaskets, hoses and connectors for engines, fuel systems and aircraft. Prices in this report refer to fluorosilicone rubber compound in bulk and are quoted per kilogram. They depend on silicone and fluorine raw material costs and demand from automotive and aerospace makers.
A small number of large chemical groups in Japan, the United States, Germany and China make the base polymer. Compounders add fillers and curing agents and sell the rubber to molders. Qualification for aerospace and automotive uses takes a long time, so supply relationships last for years. Raw materials include silicones and fluorinated monomers, and prices follow those markets.
Prices should rise modestly through the rest of 2026. Raw material and energy costs are firm and demand from automotive and aerospace makers is steady. Growing Chinese capacity limits the size of the increase. For reference, the Q3 2026 global average of USD 33.00/KG compares with USD 31.57/KG a year earlier, an increase of 4.5%.
The risks for Q4 are balanced, with no clear tilt either way. What could push prices higher? Higher silicone or fluorine costs, plant outages or stronger aircraft and vehicle output would lift prices. What could pull them lower? Lower raw material costs, larger supplies or weaker demand from automotive makers would lower prices.
| Region | 2026 Price Range (USD/KG) | Outlook |
| Global Average | 32.17 - 34.81 | Firm raw material and energy costs support a modest rise |
| China | 23.40 - 25.32 | Large capacity keeps prices lowest |
| Japan | 32.17 - 34.81 | Specialty grades support prices |
| Germany | 35.10 - 37.98 | High energy and labor costs support prices |
| United States | 38.02 - 41.14 | Aerospace grades keep prices highest |
