2. Silicone - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicone

   Silicone caulk can be used as a basic sealant against water and air penetration. In organosilicon and polymer chemistry, a silicone or polysiloxane is a polymer composed of repeating units of siloxane (−O−R 2 Si−O−SiR 2 −, where R = organic group). They are typically colorless oils or rubber-like substances. Silicones are used in ...

   Sealant. Self-leveling silicone firestop system used around pipe through-penetration in a two-hour fire-resistance rated concrete floor assembly. Sealant is a substance used to block the passage of fluids through openings in materials, [1] a type of mechanical seal. In building construction sealant is sometimes synonymous with caulk (especially ...

6. RTV silicone - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTV_silicone

   Chemistry. RTV silicones are made from a mixtures of silicone polymers, fillers, and organoreactive silane catalysts. Silicones are formed from a Si–O bond, but can have a wide variety of side chains. [3] The silicone polymers are often made by reacting dimethyl dichlorosilane with water. [4] Linear dimethylpolysiloxane polymer reaction.

7. Pipe dope - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipe_dope

   Pipe dope is any thread lubricant, thread sealing compound, or anaerobic chemical sealant that is used to make a pipe thread joint leakproof and pressure tight. [1] It is also referred to as "thread compound" or "pipe thread sealant." [2] Although common pipe threads are tapered and therefore will achieve an interference fit during proper ...
