I'm told I need this to free our new sash windows, but none of the local hardware shops knows what it is. Can anyone suggest the name of a brand, please?

a plumbers merchant as its used for push fit drainage pipes or a car accessory shop where its used to shine vinyl trim in cars.
That should work, I use it for all sorts of jobs which reminds me the car window rubbers need lubricating :-)

Rub a candle or a dry bar of soap in the window jams, cheaper and will do the job.
Or a fabric / curtain shop where they sell it - to spray on curtain track rails !

It ain't really wet either!
Spraying with pledge or another household silicon based polish will do a good job too. Calum Sabey (NewArk Traditional Kitchens 01556 690544)
I have in front of me what might be your answer.
It is labelled as 'BICC a product of Jointing Systems Division. Prescot, Merseyside L34 5SZ.'
It describes itself as a 'silicone compound colloidal suspension'.
I have done a quick google, but drawn a blank. Though I can't see a company that is this big dropping this product.

BICC have all but gone in Prescot, only the Prysmian Rollers division remains (I drive past their former site on the way to Tesco)
Ah! That explains the failed Google then.

You might have some luck with a cable jointing supplier, such as InterNet Services (think there's one in Bootle, Merseyside)
