The polymer is used in delay mechanism of anti-tank mines, side-attack mines, butterfly mine, anti-personnel mines, grenades, etc. It is an important component in these devices. This type of polymer can work in a wide temperature range and these conditions have little effect on the delay time of the mechanism. In this study, a slow-release polymer used for MUV-4VN fuses was made from siloxanes plastic, code name CSN-CNM and HKT additive. Product CSN-CNM was analyzed, evaluated from appearance, ingredient, technical and tactical requirements. The result shows that the product can keep the mechanism safe in 23-26 minutes at -1 0oC, 7- 10 minutes at 25 oC, and 3-6 minutes at 50 oC. This result is completely equivalent to imported products from Russia when testing the same conditions (in MUV-4 fuses).
