SSP’s AA 59588 Class 2A 2B, Grade 40 silicone is independently tested and meets the full requirements in A-A-9588.

Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) submitted samples of two 40-durometer military / aerospace silicones to independent ISO 17025 accredited test laboratories. These samples were tested against commercial and military standards. 

• SSP-220 met the physical and mechanical requirements of A-A-59588, Class 2A and 2B, Grade 40.

• SSP-267 met MIL-DTL-25988C, Type 2, Class 2, Grade 40 physical requirements.

The following sections describe the products and summarize the test results.

SSP’s AA 59588 Class 2A 2B, Grade 40 silicone

SSP-220 is a 40-durometer (Shore A), peroxide-catalyzed, heat-cured silicone with high temperature resistance and low compression set that meets the physical and mechanical requirements of A-A-59588, Class 2A and 2B, Grade 40. The A-A-59588 standard supersedes ZZ-R-765 and meets SAE-AMS-3301 for general-purpose, 40-durometer silicone rubber. 

SSP submitted a sample of SSP-220 to Smithers Rapra, a global leader in rubber testing. The table below shows how the sample passed the following tests.
