More Information
A-A-59588 CL 2A/2B
- A-A-59588, formally known as ZZ-R-765, is a defense and aerospace specification.
- This material is compliant with Federal specification A-A-59588 2A for high temperature resistance in 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 shore A durometer hardness values.
- Also compliant with Federal specification A-A-59588 2B for high temperature resistance and low compression set in 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 shore A durometer hardness values.
- A-A-59588 CL 2A/2B is a specification that covers classes of silicone rubber in various grades. Class 2 is a reference to where resistance to extreme high temperature is required to approximately 219°C (425°F) and low temperature resistance to about -62°C (-80°F). Class 2B material also possesses low compression set.
ASTM D2000 GE
- ASTM D2000 is a specification for rubber products in automotive applications from the American Society for Testing and Materials.
- This material passes the ASTM D2000 GE specification for silicone materials.
- The specification covers the properties of vulcanized rubber materials (natural rubber, reclaimed rubber, synthetic rubbers, alone or in combination) that are intended for, but not limited to, use in rubber products for automotive applications.
