SSP200T

50-Durometer High-Strength Silicone

SSP200T is a 50-durometer (Shore A) silicone elastomer with high strength and flex resistance. This heat-cured silicone compound uses a DCLBP peroxide catalyst system and meets the requirements of the A-A-59588, Class 3B, Grade 50 specification for military and aerospace silicones. 

A-A 59588, Class 3B, Grade 50 Qualified

SSP200T elastomers have been tested to meet the physical and mechanical properties for A-A-59588, Class 3B, Grade 50 silicones. The A-A-59588 standard supersedes the ZR-R-765 specification, and meets the SAE-AMS-3301 standard for general-purpose, 50-durometer rubber.

Demettia Flex Resistance Test

The base silicone in SSP200T passes the Demattia Flex Resistance Test, a dynamic test that measures the resistance of a material to cracking, which is performed by bending or flexural extension. The number of cycles is measured and the resistance to crack growth is determined.  

Peroxide Cured Silicone Elastomers

SSP200T silicones are peroxide-cured, a robust technique that’s also cost-effective. Because peroxide cure silicones aren’t inhibited by amines, tin compounds, latex, or urethanes, they’re a good choice for aerospace and automotive applications. To prevent bloom, SSP post-bakes all peroxide-cured silicones.

Form Factors and Colors for Silicone Compounds

SSP200T silicones are supplied as ready-to-use uncured compounds, compression-molded sheet stock, or continuous rolls. Raw materials are available catalyzed and ready for compression molding and HAV curing.  SSP200T silicone elastomers are available in gray, white, and black.
