Decompression compound.A fluoroelastomer formulation has been developed for an explosive decompression Explosive decompression (ED) refers to a sudden marked drop in the pressure of a system that occurs in less than 0.1 seconds, associated with explosive violence. Generally it results from some sort of material fatigue or engineering failure, causing a contained system to environment. This compound (EE98495H) was formulated using a Viton GF-S fluoroelastomer polymer from DuPont Dow Elastomers, and is specifically engineered to perform in this harsh environment. The compound features 95+ durometer A hardness with excellent molding characteristics, such as good scorch safety, fast cure rate, excellent mold release and mold flow, according to the company. The compound is said to be recommended for transfer and compression molding of gaskets, seals and other custom molded parts. It is available in calendered cal·en·der n. A machine in which paper or cloth is made smooth and glossy by being pressed through rollers. tr.v. cal·en·dered, cal·en·der·ing, cal·en·ders and extruded preform pre·form tr.v. pre·formed, pre·form·ing, pre·forms 1.

Independent third party laboratory test results for this explosive decompression compound are available from the company upon request. Eagle Elastomer elastomer (ĭlăs`təmər), substance having to some extent the elastic properties of natural rubber. The term is sometimes used technically to distinguish synthetic rubbers and rubberlike plastics from natural rubber. www.eagleelastomer.com |
