scope:
This specification covers a two-component, chemically cured synthetic rubber compound for insulating, sealing, reinforcing, and corrosion protection of electric connectors, wiring, and other electric apparatus. This specification has provisions for shelf-life extension (see 3.2.4).
The sealing compound is furnished in the following types, classes, and categories (see 6.2).
The types of sealing compound are as follows:
Type I - Low viscosity (100 to 400 poises, initial mixed viscosity)
Type II - High viscosity (401 to 1,200 poises, initial mixed viscosity)
The classes of sealing compound are as follows:
Class 1 - 24-hour cure at 77°F
Class 2 - 48-hour cure at 77°F
Class 3 - 72-hour cure at 77°F Beneficial comments (recommendations, additions, deletions) and any pertinent data which may be of use in improving this document should be addressed to: Commander, Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division, Code 414100B120-3, Highway 547, Lakehurst, NJ 08733-5100, by using the Standardization Document Improvement Proposal (DD Form 1426) appearing at the end of this document or by letter.
The sealing compound is categorized as follows:
Category A - Two-component kit
Category B - Premixed, degassed, frozen kit
intended Use:
The cured synthetic rubber sealing compound is intended for use as a reinforcing and protecting medium for electric connectors, wiring, and other electric apparatus by sealing and insulating... View More
