The silicone rubber can break down into SiO
cased metal-oxide varistors.
Metal-oxide varistors
The metal-oxide varistors are sintered ceramics consisting up to 90% of ZnO. The
following additions are also contained within:
Metal-oxide varistors are coated with a thin glass coating containing lead-oxide
(< 0.1% of the weight).
The substances are present as an oxide in metal-oxide varistors. A wash-out test
in accordance with an EPA specification (Federal Register/vol. 45, No 98 /Rules

posed of as industrial waste without infringing on EEC guidelines.
No danger to personal health or the environment is present during normal opera-
tion.
