I've never received a request like that yet. We use your dimer for our
Mil-Spec requirements and as long as you are on the QPL our customers are
satisfied. Hell, I've received a request for that info from any of our
liquid customers either. It blows me away how I receive brand new designs
that are still calling for Mil-Spec as it is.
