scope:

This specification relates to a silicone elastomer suitable for the production of items such as mouldings, sheets and extrusions where high strength properties are of prime importance.

The designation 'Type QX' indicates that the naterial is of a quality suitable for applications where a high degree of compatibility with explosives is a requirement. However, its compatibility with all explosives in all environments has not been established and Design Authorities should seek advice on particular applications from the Director, Propellants, Explosives and Rocket Motor Establishment, Waltham Abbey, Essex.
