Subject: More about my capacitor

I got right now to know what dielectric was used in the capacitors below:
it was polypropylene and paper, oil was I.P.B.P. Will they work with my
TC (I use two of them in SERIES)?

******************************************************************************
I got some surplus Maxwell capacitors model 30561 0.1uF 25KV with following
specs:

Capacitance: 0.1uF 25KV
Rated peak current: 5 KA
Max peak current: 25 KA
Max ripple freq.: 10 KHz
Max RMS current: 25 A RMS
Max Dissipation factor: 0.3% -at- 120 Hz
Inductance: 80 nH

They are enclosed in metal cans and have got ceramic terminals.
Will they work with my Tesla Coil (frequency about 150 KHz) or will they 
warm-up in 10 seconds and blow?
