Looking at their webpage it would appear not. Any of their liquid gasket sealant products would do though.

Ian for Blue Hylomar try Ockendon motor spares or Unwins in Grays. Unwins are pretty good

I don't think you're supposed to put any sealant on it, but can't see any harm in following the others suggestions

Definately good practice to seal it unless you want to run the risk of an air leak.

You can get blue hylomar equivalent on the flea for 3 quid delivered quick - I use it and it's just as good. Search for "Quality Vtech V-Tech Vital Blue RTV Silicone".
