A sealant material for sealing joints between male and female mating parts comprising: (a) an elongate flexible thread suitable for wrapping around at least one of the parts, and (b) a joint sealing composition comprising an anaerobically curable composition in solid form,
the flexible thread being coated with the anaerobically curable composition. This provides a reactive composition on the thread for sealing joints.

The present invention provides a method for sealing a leakage at a remote site in a pipe, the method including introducing a fluid carrier composition including a hardener, a resin and at least one of a multiplicity of plugging devices and a multiplicity of cut fibers into the pipe at the first site under pressure and allowing the fluid carrier to transport the at least one of the multiplicity devices and the multiplicity of fibers to the remote site, wherein the at least of the multiplicity of devices and the multiplicity of the cut fibers penetrates the leakage thereby sealing and curing the leakage.

The present invention relates to an automotive engine cooling system stop-leak formulation for repairing leaks in an engine cooling system, is compatible with common coolant antifreeze types and is capable of maintaining the repair after draining and re-filling the coolant. The automotive engine cooling system stop-leak formulation comprising a polymeric resin and a particulate package, wherein the particulate package comprises a first natural fibre having a first fibre length and a greater amount of a second natural fibre having a second fibre length.

Provided is a composition for a gas seal member that can form a gas seal member capable of sufficiently suppressing both the occurrence of overflow fracture and the occurrence of blister fracture. The disclosed composition for a gas seal member is a composition for a gas seal member that contains an elastomer and a fibrous carbon nanostructure. The fibrous carbon nanostructure includes single-walled carbon nanotubes and the fibrous carbon nanostructure is contained in a proportion of at least 0.1 parts by mass and no greater than 12 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of elastomer.

A self-healing hydraulic seal is provided. The self-healing hydraulic seal is prepared from a water-swellable elastomeric composition comprising a base polymer and a plant-based polysaccharide.
