1.1 Form:This specification covers a silicone (VMQ) rubber in the form of sheet, strip, tubing, extrusions,and molded shapes.1.2 Application:Primarily for parts required to operate or seal from -55° to + 230°C (-67° to +446 °F),compounded specially for articraft piston engine oil resistance and low compression set.Silicone elastomer is resistant to deterioration by weathering and by high-aniline-pointpetroleum-base oils normally suitable for use in contact with gasoline or aromatic fuels and lowaniline-point petroleum-base fluids due to excessive swelling of the elastomer.1.3 Safety - Hazardous Materials:While the materials, methods, applications, and processes described or referenced in thisspecification may involve the use of hazardous materials, this specification does not addressthe hazards which may be involve in such use. It is the sole responsibility of the user to ensurefamiliarity with the safe and proper use of any hazardous materials and to take necessaryprecautionary measures to ensure the health and safety of all personnel involved.
