Tests according to the United States Military Standard (MIL-SPEC): Wacker Chemie AG performs all test referring to MIL Spec according to its current test methods, lab conditions, quality methods, procedures, sampling, packaging, and so forth. These test methods, lab conditions, quality methods, procedures, sampling, packaging, and so forth need not necessarily be identical with the test methods, lab conditions, quality methods, procedures, sampling, packaging, and so forth listed in the above-mentioned specification. Compliance with the above-mentioned MIL Spec is limited to certain properties (excluding heat resistance as mentioned in MIL-A-46106, Group III, Type II) and does not imply or state conformity to any other aspect of the referenced specification, including but not limited to sampling, marking, packaging, bar coding, testing, or sampling.

Safety & Health

Safety Notes

During vulcanization of ELASTOSIL® E50 TRANSPARENT, a total of 3% by weight of acetic acid is split off. These vapors should not be inhaled for long periods or in high concentration. Work areas should therefore be well ventilated. Contact of unvulcanized silicone rubber with eyes and mucous membranes must be avoided as this would cause irritation. However if it does happen, rinse the affected area thoroughly.
