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 1 8 6 , 43-6527 Dielectric Gel, Q3-6559 Accelerator, DC 1 1 0 7 and Cab-o-Si1 MS-75. properties of these materials. written to detail the work for specific substitutes.
