Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a roofing putty. In some embodiments, the roofing putty is a formulation that comprises at least one polysiloxane, at least one silane, and at least one filler. Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a system comprising the roofing putty and at least one roof substrate. Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method of using the roofing putty, such as, but not limited to, by disposing the roofing putty on at least one roof substrate.

A method for producing a component includes a) providing at least two preforms each made of a carbon composite material, b) joining the at least two preforms at least at one respective connecting surface to form a composite, in which a joining compound is introduced between the joining surfaces of the preforms and then cured and the joining compound contains silicon carbide and at least one polymer adhesive, and c) siliconizing the composite to form the component. A component, such as an optical component produced thereby, is also provided.
