Simrit's F273 Fluorosilicone Rubber Approved to AMS-7273 Specification
PLYMOUTH, Mich. - Simrit, the industrial products division of Freudenberg-NOK, has recently expanded its material product line with the debut of the F273 material for the aerospace industry. The new material conforms to all requirements of AMS-7273. F273 fluorosilicone rubber products are manufactured at Simrit's International Seal® facility located in Santa Ana, Calif.
The F273 material is used in high-performance, high-pressure jet fuel systems and is resistant to jet fuels and synthetic turbine lubricants with a typical application temperature range from -70°C to +200°C. The AMS-7273 specification is difficult to meet because of stringent requirements for aged properties - meaning that no appreciable property changes are allowed at exposure temperatures up to 200°C in dry heat. Additionally, this specification is difficult to meet with the high-pressure, extreme temperature simulated component testing in fuel.
"As a leader and innovator in the sealing industry, Simrit continually strives for growth, innovation and advancement as we create and discover new materials, and with them, new possibilities," said Vinay Nilkanth, vice president of business development for Simrit. "We are pleased to obtain this approval for our F273 (AMS-7273) compound, which will help meet a need in the market for sealing specific aerospace fluids."
A market leader in the aerospace, industrial and agriculture/construction market segments, Simrit draws from more than 150 years of experience and well-known brand names including Freudenberg®, NOK®, Disogrin®, Merkel® and International Seal®.
The Simrit Division is based at Freudenberg-NOK's headquarters in Plymouth, Mich. Freudenberg-NOK is part of the Freudenberg and NOK Group Companies, which have total annual sales of more than $7 billion. The global Freudenberg and NOK Group offers an extensive portfolio of precision-molded products for the aerospace, appliance, automotive, marine, medical, off-highway equipment, recreational vehicle and semiconductor markets.
