suitably cured to produce sealing rings,
compression
seals and moded-in-place gaskets meeting the
requirements of 3.2 and 3.3. A
dihydroxy/bisphenol cure system shall be
used. Material shall be based on 100% virgin
fluorocarbon (FKM) elastomer. No reprocessed or
non-fluorocarbon
polymer is acceptable.
Color Shall be black or brown. No other color shall be
acceptable.
