More Information

AMS3196

AMS3196 is an aerospace material specification is from SAE International Group.
The specification covers silicone rubber sponge in the form of sheet, strip, extrusions, and molded shapes.
Our firm density silicone sponge sheet is in accordance with the physical property requirements of AMS3196 test standard.
This product has been used typically for general applications requiring closed-cell, firm sponge rubber that will be flexible from -75 to +205 °C (-103 to +401 °F), but usage is not limited to such applications. Compression set may be high at the higher temperature.

FAR 25.853

FAR 25.853 is a regulation part of the Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs), specifically addressing flammability requirements for materials used in the construction of commercial aircraft.
The regulation mandates that materials used inside the aircraft cabin, such as seat cushions, wall panels, and flooring, must be flame-resistant and able to withstand specific fire tests.
It includes specific criteria and test methods for assessing the flammability of these materials, ensuring that they do not easily ignite and, if they do, that they burn slowly and self-extinguish.
Compliance with FAR 25.853 is critical for aircraft certification, focusing on enhancing passenger safety by minimizing the risks associated with in-flight fires.
