A mounting system configured to support a component relative to a mounting surface of a vehicle includes a mounting bracket including a mounting portion configured to be coupled to the mounting surface of the vehicle. The mounting bracket defining a component receptacle configured to support the component. The mounting bracket comprises a first plastic material. The mounting system also includes a seal coupled to the mounting bracket and configured to engage the mounting surface of the vehicle to inhibit ingress of debris between the mounting portion and the mounting surface of the vehicle. The seal comprises a second plastic material, different than the first plastic material. The mounting system may be included in a window assembly where the mounting surface of the vehicle is an inner surface of a transparent pane and the component is a sensor.

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.

A rheology control agent for a curable composition includes: a diamide compound (A) and/or a hydrogenated castor oil (A), the diamide compound (A) being obtained by condensation reaction between a diamine component (A1) and a monocarboxylic acid component (A2); and a polyamide compound (B) obtained by polycondensation of an amine component (B1) and a carboxylic acid component (B2). The amine component (B1) contains at least one amine selected from the group consisting of a diamine and a triamine having 2 to 54 carbon atoms. The carboxylic acid component (B2) contains at least one carboxylic acid selected from the group consisting of a dicarboxylic acid and a tricarboxylic acid having 4 to 54 carbon atoms. The polyamide compound (B) is obtained by polycondensation of at least one of the amine component (B1) and the carboxylic acid component (B2) containing polymerized fatty acids.

To provide a sealing resin composition and a seal that are capable of being used, in particular, in high temperature and high pressure gas, in particular hydrogen gas. A sealing resin composition is used in a piston ring 1 for sealing gas. When a molded body of the sealing resin composition is exposed to gas with a pressure of 82 MPa and a temperature of 200 C. for 192 hours, a dimensional change rate of the molded body relative to the molded body before the exposure is +1.0% or less, a retention rate of the tensile strength of the molded body after the exposure is 80% or more as the tensile strength of the molded body before the exposure is defined as 100%. The tensile strength of the molded body of the sealing resin composition is 100 MPa or more by a measuring method based on ASTM D638.
