SSP100 is a 70-durometer (Shore A) heat-cured fluorosilicone elastomer that uses a Varox-peroxide and dicumyl-peroxide catalyst system. This fluorosilicone compound meets the requirements of the MIL-DTL-25988C, Type 1 and 2, Class 2, Grade 70 specification. Because MIL-DTL-25988C rubber requires significant testing, there is a $500 minimum order amount. Small-quantity orders may be subject to certification charges.
SSP100 elastomers meet MIL-DTL-25988C, Type 1 and 2, Class 2, Grade 70 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 1 fluorosilicones are general-purpose elastomers. Class 2 fluorosilicones add high strength. Grade 70 indicates that the rubber has a nominal 70-durometer hardness.
SSP100 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. SSP100 fluorosilicones are used in aerospace and military applications and combine broad temperature resistance with resistance to fuels, coolants, and oils. Â
SSP100 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 colors produced are red, blue, and black.

MSDS information is available, and SSP can supply data from additional tests (such as oil immersion) performed in accordance with MIL-DTL-25988C, Type 1 and 2, Class 2, Grade 70 requirements.Â
