Why should you use BS EN 3825 - Fluorosilicone rubber (FVMQ) for aerospace series? 

Fluorosilicone rubber (FVMQ) combines the good high- and low-temperature properties of silicone with limited fuel and oil resistance.  

The suitability of the material for a specific application is determined by complementary tests carried out on the finished product as the properties specified in BS EN 3825 are obtained from standard test specimens.  

BS EN 3825 is related to petroleum-based fluids, aviation fuels, hydraulic fluids, lubricants, greases, silicone oil, and some ester-based fluids (not phosphate esters).  

BS EN 3825 assists with various test methods for diverse types of properties of fluorosilicone rubber (FVMQ). It covers all the requirements for fluorosilicone rubber (FVMQ).  

BS EN 3825 creates a standardized approach for manufacturers of fluorosilicone rubber (FVMQ) to adhere to if they supply their products for use by the aerospace and defence industry.  

By adopting BS EN 3825, manufacturers can demonstrate the reliability of fluorosilicone rubber (FVMQ) and build trust for their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
