2. Silicone rubber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicone_rubber

   In its uncured state, silicone rubber is a highly adhesive gel or liquid. To convert it to a solid, it must be cured, vulcanized, or catalyzed.This is normally carried out in a two-stage process at the point of manufacture into the desired shape, and then in a prolonged post-cure process.

3. Self-sealing fuel tank - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-sealing_fuel_tank

   Typical self-sealing tanks have layers of rubber and reinforcing fabric, one of vulcanized rubber and one of untreated natural rubber, which can absorb fuel when it comes into contact with it. When a fuel tank is punctured the fuel seeps into these layers, causing the untreated layer to swell, closing and thus sealing the puncture.

6. Seal (mechanical) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seal_(mechanical)

   A seal is a device or material that helps join systems, mechanisms or other materials together by preventing leakage (e.g. in a pumping system), containing pressure, or excluding contamination. The effectiveness of a seal is dependent on adhesion in the case of sealants and compression in the case of gaskets .

7. End-face mechanical seal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End-face_mechanical_seal

   An end-face mechanical seal generates heat from rubbing and viscous shear and must be cooled to assure good performance and reliable operation. Typically, cooling is provided by circulating fluid around the seal. This fluid, known as a flush, may be the same as the fluid being sealed or an entirely different fluid.
