Silicone Sealants
Made from silicone, these sealants are RTV (room-temperature vulcanizing). They’re non-sagging, so they won't drip from vertical and overhead surfaces.
Elongation and joint compression/expansion tolerance indicate flexibility—the higher the values are, the more joint movement sealants can sustain. Sealants that are good for joining dissimilar materials also work well in environments with wide temperature fluctuation.
When Dow Corning 700 requires a primer, for best results use PR-1200 on metal and PR-1205 on plastic.

Oil- and Fuel-Resistant Sealants
These non-sagging sealants will not drip while hardening on vertical and overhead surfaces. They’re thicker than most non-sagging sealants, so they can be used in vertical joints up to 1/2" wide.
Elongation indicates flexibility—the higher the values are, the more sealants can stretch. These sealants are best suited to joints between similar materials that aren't exposed to wide temperature fluctuation.
Silicone sealants have excellent ozone resistance.
Sealants that cannot be sold to California exceed local regulatory limits on VOC (volatile organic compounds).

UV-Resistant Glass Sealants
These sealants don't degrade in sunlight. Also known as glazing compounds, use these sealants to install glass in framing. They’re non-sagging, so they won't drip from vertical and overhead surfaces. Made from silicone, these sealants are RTV (room-temperature vulcanizing).
Elongation and joint compression/expansion tolerance indicate flexibility. For joints between dissimilar materials and in environments with wide temperature fluctuation, choose a sealant with a higher elongation or joint compression/expansion tolerance.

Epoxy Potting Compounds for Harsh Environments
Tough enough to be permanently submersed in seawater, these compounds protect sensitive electronics, such as circuit boards, semiconductors, and sensors in harsh environments. They resist moisture, salt, and chemicals, so you can use them in corrosive oil, marine, and mining applications. These compounds can also be used within autoclaves. Because they are epoxies, they are rigid, resist wear, and create excellent electrical insulation. They withstand a wide range of temperatures, and this formulation won’t crack or split as components heat up and cool down.
They come in a cartridge, so you can apply them precisely. To dispense, they require a mixer nozzle and gun (both sold separately).
