'thread sealant' is another (slightly inaccurate!) term for 'thread locking compound' etc.

neutral  Tony M: That's why I said the source term is being used "rather inaccurately" — there is no real sense of 'sealing' here in the sense of 'étanche'. This would translate 'thread locking and sealing compound' — which is not what the source text says here!
