SSP supplies MIL-R-25988 fluorosilicones for military gaskets. Choose specification-grade fluorosilicone elastomers in various types, classes, and grades.

MIL-DTL-25988C is a U.S. military specification (MIL-SPEC) for fluorosilicones that resist oil and fuel. This MIL-SPEC divides compliant compounds into two classes: Type 1 for O-Rings, and Type 2 for molded parts, sheets, strips, and extruded shapes. Within each Type, there are different Classes. For example, Class 1 compounds are for general-purpose use. Class 2 materials are high-strength, general purpose elastomers.
