ASTM D2000 Silicone Sheet and Uncured Compound
ASTM D2000 silicone meets the standard classification system established by ASTM International for rubber products in automotive and industrial applications. Specified under the FC, FE, or GE material designations, ASTM D2000 silicone defines solid silicone elastomers engineered for high thermal stability, low temperature flexibility, and excellent resistance to compression set, weathering, and ozone across an operating temperature range of -80°F to 450°F (-62°C to 232°C).
ASTM D2000 Silicone Properties
Key characteristics of ASTM D2000 silicone rubber:
-
Classification: Formulated to meet ASTM D2000 callouts (such as M7GE705, M3FE605, or M2FC607) defining specific durometer, tensile strength, and elongation requirements.
-
Hardness Range: Available in a full range of durometers, typically 30 to 80 Shore A, to match soft sealing or firm structural gasket specifications.
-
Temperature Resistance: Operates reliably from -80°F to 450°F (-62°C to 232°C) (with specialized extreme-temp grades reaching higher).
-
Environmental & Chemical Resistance: Excellent resistance to UV, ozone, weathering, hot air aging, and high-aniline-point petroleum oils.
-
Material: Solid silicone rubber (VMQ / FC, FE, GE type elastomers).
-
Forms: Supplied in solid silicone sheets, continuous roll stock, uncured compounds, extrusions, and custom molded gaskets.
