Steve:
Take a look at MIL-S-8516 Sealing Compound, Polysulfide Rubber, Electrical
Connectors and Electrical Systems, Chemically Cured. I think this is more in
line with what you are doing than 8802.
Polysulfde compounds have been around a long time, however for electrical
applications I think most have been replaced by urethanes and silicones.



Good Luck !

Subject: [TN] Alumina filled Polysulfide compound...


Hi All!!

...tappity-tappity-tappity...(doin' my thank gawd it's Friday dance! hehehe)


I was wondering if someone could point me in a direction where I could find
some alumina filled polysulfide compound, per MIL-S-8802, class A-2, with 50
plus or minus 10%, 325 mesh aluminum oxide powder...

This is something that is called out on a drawing for a board that's using
this material to strain relief two small battery cables that are installed
on the board...I've searched and find a bunch of stuff about polysulfide
compounds, but nothing alumina filled. If I search under MIL-S-8802, I find
all kinds of polysulfide sealers for jet fuel tanks, but still nothing
alumina filled...

Any help will be much appreciated
