ASTM Silicone Sheeting & Uncured Compounds

ElastaPro makes ASTM silicone materials that have been tested and certified to meet the standards set by ASTM International (formerly the American Society for Testing and Materials). These standards ensure silicone products have specific, measurable properties like hardness, tensile strength, and resistance to heat, chemicals, or outgassing. The specific standard used depends on the intended application, such as automotive, medical, or construction.

Examples of these standards include:

• ASTM E595: Specifies requirements for low-outgassing materials, particularly for aerospace and other applications where outgassing can be a problem.
• ASTM C1115: A standard for dense elastomeric silicone rubber gaskets and accessories used in building construction.
• ASTM D1056: This specification covers flexible rubber products known ad sponge rubber and expanded rubber.  
• ASTM F2038: A guide for the selection and use of silicone elastomers, gels, and foams for medical applications.
