SSP1331-T
SSP1331-T is a 40-durometer silicone that meets the physical requirements for AMS 3301. It resists weathering and petroleum-based lube oils.
SSP makes AMS grade silicones meet Aerospace Material Specifications (AMS) from SAE International. These elastomers come in a range of durometers and are tested to AMS 3301, 3302, 3345, 3356E, 3325, 3305J, 3303, or 3304 requirements.
AMS silicones meet Aerospace Material Specifications (AMS) from SAE International. These specifications cover various aspects of materials, including their chemical composition, physical properties, and manufacturing processes. AMS documents ensure that materials used in aircraft and spacecraft meet stringent requirements for quality, safety, and performance.
SSP makes aerospace silicones that meet SAE International Aerospace Material Specifications. We offer a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every batch for traceability.
Note: SSP also makes MIL-DTL-25988 fluorosilicones, and some prints call out this material as AMS 25988.
The table below describes the AMS silicones that SSP can supply as sheets, rolls, or ready-to-mold compounds, or that we can fabricate into custom molded gaskets or O-rings.

AMS silicones are used in helicopter bellows, flexible molded sleeves that keep out dust, oil exhaust fumes, and debris.
AMS silicone applications also include rotor blade seals, silicone parts that need to withstand exposure to harsh outdoor weather conditions.
AMS silicones meet Aerospace Materials Specification (AMS) standards from SAE International, which was known formerly as the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). AMS specifications have four-digit numbers (e.g., AMS 3345) and are part of large and comprehensive database of aerospace materials.
When AMS standards are revised, a sequential letter is appended to the numbered designation (e.g., AMS 3345G). Sometimes, AMS specifications are written as a long alphanumeric string (e.g., AMS3345G) without any spaces.
Aircraft silicones and aviation silicones aren’t the only materials that have AMS numbers, but AMS silicones are used widely in this industry because they resist weathering and petroleum-based lube oils. They also remain flexible over a wide temperature range and resist heat aging.
In addition, AMS silicones can be pigmented so that their colors match larger product designs. Typically, these materials are supplied as sheets, strips, tubing, extrusions, and molded shapes.
