Background material properties of selected silicone potting compounds and raw materials for their substitutes

Since Dow Corning discontinued production of 93-119, 93-120, 93-122, Pantex joined with the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory to develop substitutes for these materials. Raw materials chosen for this project include Sylgard 184, Sylgard 186, Q3-6527 Dielectric Gel, Q3-6559 Accelerator, DC 1107 and Cab-o-Sil MS-75. This report deals with physical and chemical properties of these materials.
