Improvement of Elastomers for use in Army Weapons Applications.

Abstract

New elastomers and rubber compounding ingredients were evaluated for potential use in army weapons applications. Silicone rubber is useful in the preparation of prototypes or for formed-in-place gaskets. Flexane Putter 95 proved to be a good repair material for damaged rubber coatings on M60 machine guns. Hycar 1072 was used for fabricating improved rubber inserts for the GAU-2B/Aminigun bullet trap. (Author, modified-PL)
