generally performed until equilibrium is achieved. The second is generally performed in
parallel where changes in elastomer physical properties, such as hardness, modulus, etc., are
either tracked intermittently or when the mass and volume changes reach equilibrium.
Supplier shall propose compatibility test method (or submit prior test data) for Company
approval if requested.
