Eight different RTV silicones were sealed in containers, and after preselected times the amount of hydrogen in the containers was determined. The silicone samples were conditioned at 80/sup 0/C in a 100% RH air atmosphere and at 23/sup 0/C in a dry air atmosphere. The amount of gas from duplicate samples varied considerably. The cause of these variations was investigated, and it was determined that humidity in a helium atmosphere produced the maximum hydrogen, and the amount of hydrogen is less if oxygen is present in the atmosphere. 10 figures, 3 tables.
