BMS 1-53 Silicone

BMS 1-53  silicone from ElastaPro meets Boeing Material Specifications (BMS). Choose these specification grade silicone materials as solid silicone sheet or uncured silicone compound in the durometers, sizes, and colors that you need. ElastaPro is AS9100D and ISO 9001:2015 certified.

What is BMS 1-53 Silicone?

BMS 1-53 silicone are high-performance silicone rubber with high physical properties and resistance to hydraulic fluid and fire (BMS 3-11).
  • Aerospace grade: The “BMS” prefix indicates it is a material developed to meet Boeing’s specifications for use in aircraft, such as gaskets, seals, and other components.
  • High performance: The “1-53” designation signifies it has high physical properties and is resistant to hydraulic fluid and fire (BMS 3-11).
  • Application: It is designed for critical sealing applications in aerospace where reliable performance under extreme temperature, chemical, and environmental conditions is necessary.
  • Material properties: It is a silicone rubber elastomer that is engineered to have a specific set of characteristics that meet the requirements of the aerospace industry. 

BMS 1-53 Silicone Sheet

BMS 1-53 silicone sheets are engineered to meet stringent standards for flexibility, durability, and high resistance to environmental factors. At ElastaPro Silicone Sheeting, these sheets arrive ready for die-cutting. They are between 0.010” and 0.500” thick and available in widths of up to 60”.

BMS 1-53 Silicone Compound

This BMS spec sets stringent standards for the chemical composition and physical properties of uncured silicone compounds. This ensures that materials meet the specific requirements for aerospace use. By adhering to BMS, manufacturers guarantee that the compounds contribute to producing high-quality and durable aviation components.
