Key Takeaways What is a conductive silicone elastomer? A conductive silicone elastomer is an engineered material that blends a flexible silicone or fluorosilicone polymer matrix
When elastomeric seals and gaskets come into contact with aggressive fluids—such as JP-8 jet fuel, Skydrol, or synthetic hydraulic fluids—one of the most common causes
When specifying seals, gaskets, and elastomeric components for defense and aerospace applications, standard commercial-grade silicones often fall short. Military platforms operate under severe environmental conditions,
When designing seals, gaskets, or O-rings for aggressive chemical environments, selecting the proper elastomer often comes down to two heavyweights: Fluorosilicone (FVMQ) and Fluorocarbon (FKM).
