Meeting the Unique Demands of Aviation and Aerospace with Advanced Rubber Materials #
Aviation and aerospace industries are characterized by their complexity and the extreme conditions in which their components must operate. Rubber parts used in these sectors face unique challenges, including drastic temperature fluctuations, high and low pressure environments, and exposure to aggressive chemicals such as hydraulic fluids, jet fuel, and lubricating oils. To address these demands, specialized synthetic rubber materials have been developed, offering exceptional durability and performance.
Hydraulic Control Applications #
Both commercial and military aircraft rely on a variety of hydraulic actuators, auxiliary power units, and air compression systems. Rubber components such as hydraulic and pneumatic tubing, gaskets, and seals are essential for the safe and efficient operation of these systems. Elastomers like Viton and Hypalon are particularly well-suited for aviation and aerospace applications due to their ability to meet precise manufacturing specifications and withstand extreme temperatures and pressures. Their reliability makes them a preferred choice for critical sealing applications.
Adaptability to Extreme Conditions #
Aircraft and spacecraft are regularly subjected to significant pressure changes. Maintaining cabin or spacecraft pressurization is vital for the safety and comfort of passengers and crew. Silicone gaskets and o-rings play a crucial role in forming airtight seals, preventing depressurization and ensuring a stable oxygen supply. Beyond Earth’s atmosphere, temperatures can range from as high as 200°F to as low as -200°F. Silicone’s remarkable heat resistance, sealing capability, and resilience make it indispensable in aviation and space exploration. Other rubber components must also be engineered to endure these harsh conditions, where accuracy and precision are non-negotiable.
