Cover compounds

Cut, Gouge & Impact — AS-M

A high-strength general-purpose cover for demanding impact, cutting and abrasive service.

Product overview

Built around the duty.

AS-M combines higher tensile strength and elongation requirements with lower permitted abrasion loss than AS-N. It is commonly selected for sharp, heavy and abrasive materials where cut, gouge and impact resistance must be considered together.

AS 1332 tensile strength≥ 24 MPa
AS 1332 elongation at break≥ 450%
AS 1332 abrasion loss≤ 125 mm³
ClassificationGeneral purpose — demanding duty

Specification note

These are AS-M minimum classification properties, not Double Arrow proprietary test results. AS-M is not interchangeable with AS-A: the dominant damage mechanism should drive the choice.
