To create polymer materials exploiting in extreme conditions, it is required to use new components (including fillers) providing the flow of physical and chemical transformations that improve the operational stability of the materials. One of the problem solutions is the application of such promising fillers as high-dispersity silicon carbide in elastomer compositions. A low cost source of microdispersed silicon carbide can be slurries produced after grinding with the abrasive tool based on silicon carbide. The paper considers the possibility of using microdispersed silicon carbide along with slurries as a functional filler in fire and heat resistant elastomer compositions. It has been shown that slurries formed after grinding and applied together with microdispersed silicon carbide can be used to effectively enhance the fire resistance of elastomer materials and make them cheaper.
