‘Sealant’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Birchwood sealants prevent rust and corrosion from Birchwood Casey, which we summarised at the time by saying "Birchwood Casey offers a full line of eight different aqueous and solvent-based inhibitors and sealants to prevent rust and corrosion on all metal surfaces. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Fluoroseal is universal joint sealant from Flexitallic: "Flexitallic Fluoroseal is a universal joint sealant that is manufactured from 100 per cent expanded PTFE with a self-adhesive backing for easy application.".
 
In August 2009, we covered the news from ITT Interconnect Solutions - take a look at ITT expands Mil-DTL-38999 hermetic connector range which says: "ITT Interconnect Solutions has designed a hermetically sealed connector with a lightweight aluminium shell for low-pressure water immersion or fording applications.".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Dow Corning, Combined starter-alternator reduces petrol use, as well as Dow Corning announces heat-resistant sealant from Dow Corning, and Metering system provides exact resin doses from Sealant Equipment and Engineering.
