MIL-SPEC Silicone

MIL-SPEC Silicone

MIL-SPEC silicone from ElastaPro is supplied as sheet materials or uncured compound and meets U.S. military specifications and standards. MIL-SPEC, short for “military specification”, refers to a set if requirements established by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) for the design, performance, and quality of products used by the military. These specifications ensure that that items such as rubber seals and gaskets are durable, reliable, and can interoperate with other military equipment and systems, such as for fuel delivery.

MIL-SPEC Silicone vs. Military Grade Silicone

A silicone is considered MIL-SPEC only if it is manufactured to the defined standards and passes all required testing. These specifications include criteria for material, dimensions, and performance under stress.

Available Materials

ElastaPro makes MIL-SPEC silicone and fluorosilicone materials that meet the following military specifications and standards.

• MIL-DTL-25988
• MIL-R-25988
• MIL-R-46089
• MIL-R-6130
• MIL-STD-417 TA
• MIL-STD-670 TE12

Silicone sheets arrive ready for die cutting and are available with pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs). ElastaPro makes both solid silicone sheet and cellular silicone sheet. Uncured silicone compound arrives ready for curing and can be molded, extruded, or calendered.

Note that MIL-SPEC silicones also include materials that meet related specifications and standards. For example, some aerospace silicones and SAE International silicones have military applications because of their excellent material properties. Examples include AMS silicones and AMSR25988 fluorosilicones. ElastaPro makes these and other spec-grade rubber materials.
