At Dow Corning, we value you as our customer and continuously strive to provide you with consistent product quality, supply, and service.
This letter is to inform you that the steel drum used to package the materials listed at the end of this communication, which are supplied from Great China, will be changed. The drum will visually appear different as the new version will have corrugations in the steel. The drum will also have a slightly thinner mid-body section, reducing from 1.0 mm to 0.9 mm in thickness. The top and bottom portions of the drum will remain at the present 1.0 mm thickness. There are no changes to the epoxy-phenolic internal coating of the drum nor the plugs or gasket materials.
This change is not expected to have an impact on the performance of the products. We anticipate the change to take place sometime in Q1 2018. A list of the affected materials is attached as a separate document.
Please contact your local Dow Corning representative with any additional questions or concerns.
