Mechanical Rubber now offers flame resistant silicone

Warwick, NY – Answering an on-going market demand, Mechanical Rubber has recently completed a series of flammability tests on several silicone materials. So far, solid silicone compound MR60-60-34BK and closed cell silicone sponge compound MR60-242-RD-02 have both passed the following tests:

14 CFR Part 25.855(d) Amd 25-142 Appendix F Part 1(6), a 45-degree angle burn test.
14 CFR Part 25.853(a) Amd 15-116 Appendix F Part I(a)(1)(i), a vertical flammability test.
14 CFR Part 25.853(a) Amd 25-116 Appendix F Part I(a)(1)(iv), a horizontal flammability test.

“Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 25 is an airworthiness standard by the Federal Aviation Administration featuring over 1,800 regulations covering transport aircraft, like jets and propeller planes,” said Cedric Glasper, President and CEO. “As an approved manufacturer for several major aerospace and defense companies, Mechanical Rubber is consistently striving to ensure that our materials meet the most rigorous and stringent requirements.” Mechanical Rubber is currently putting other material through the same rigorous testing and will post results as available.
