The compound covered by this specification is intended for use, as follows:

a. As a lubricant and sealant for rubber components, such as "O" rings and gaskets.

b. When mixed with molybdenum disulfide powder, as a lubricant for threaded connections on piping and valves to be used with liquids and gases.

c. As a sealant to prevent galvanic corrosion due to moisture penetration in areas of dissimilar metal contact.

d. For use under extreme conditions of service and storage, where freezing at −54°C (−65°F) or exudation and deterioration at +204°C (+400°F) is not permissible, and wherein water insolubility and sealing properties are essential.

e. For sealing high tension electrical connections of aircraft and automotive engines.

f. For sealing and insulating electronic equipment, subassemblies and components where it is essential that the material remain in a soft state in order to allow easy disassembly or change.

g. As a sealant to protect the threads on shells from moisture and corrosion. When used in this manner, the silicone compound should not come into contact with surfaces that are to be painted.

This silicone compound is not intended for use as a heat sink. Materials having more suitable properties are available commercially.
