MIL-D-24709 DIMFAB 280
MIL-D-24709 is a military specification that pertains to dimensionally stable fabric-reinforced (DIMFAB) rubber materials used in various industrial and military applications. This specification outlines the requirements for the composition, characteristics, and performance of DIMFAB rubber products. These rubber materials are reinforced with fabric layers to enhance their structural integrity and dimensional stability under varying conditions. DIMFAB rubber exhibits properties such as elasticity, tear resistance, and durability, making it suitable for applications where both flexibility and structural integrity are essential. This type of rubber is commonly used in applications such as gaskets, seals, and other components that require reliable sealing and performance. MIL-D-24709 ensures that DIMFAB rubber products adhere to strict quality and performance standards, making them dependable choices for demanding situations where reliability, durability, and dimensional stability are crucial.
DIMFAB 280 is manufactured using a specific elastomeric compound that is designed to meet the MIL-D-24709 Type R-50-21/64 specification for Distributed Isolation Material (DIM). DIMFAB 280 is primarily used by the US Navy for vibration isolation applications in submarines and surface ships. Can be waterjet fabricated to any shape.
