SSP082 is a 75-durometer (Shore A) heat-cured fluorosilicone elastomer that uses a Varox-peroxide and dicumyl-peroxide catalyst system. This fluorosilicone compound meets the requirements of MIL-DTL-25988C, Type 2, Class 2, Grade 70. Because MIL-DTL-25988C rubber requires significant testing, there is a $500 minimum order amount. Small-quantity orders may be subject to certification charges.
SSP082 elastomers meet MIL-DTL-25988C, Type 2, Class 2, Grade 75 requirements for oil-resistant and fuel-resistant fluorosilicones. According to this U.S. military specification, Type 2 fluorosilicone elastomers are for molded parts (other than O-rings), sheets, strips, and extruded shapes. Class 2 fluorosilicone compounds are for high-strength, general-purpose use. Grade 75 indicates that the rubber has a nominal 75-durometer hardness.
SSP082 fluorosilicone elastomers are peroxide-cured, a robust technique that is also cost-effective. Peroxide-cured fluorosilicones are not inhibited by amines, tin compounds, latex, or urethanes, and SSP post-bakes all peroxide-cured silicones to prevent bloom. SSP082 fluorosilicones are used in aerospace and military applications and combine broad temperature resistance with resistance to fuels, coolants, and oils.
SSP082 fluorosilicone elastomers are supplied as ready-to-mold compounds or compression-molded sheet stock. These fluorosilicone compounds can be pigmented to meet your application requirements, but the most popular color produced is blue.
Download the SSP082 data sheet for specifications such as tensile strength, elongation percentage, tear resistance, specific gravity, and cure profile. MSDS information is available, and SSP can supply data from additional tests (such as oil immersion) performed in accordance with MIL-DTL-25988C, Type 2, Class 2, Grade 75 requirements.
