It basically, for lack of a better term, has lots of ground glass in it.
I'd find it difficult to believe that there aren't "stronger" products out there.
off topic but back in the day of when I did Oceanographic research for the Coast Guard (Marine Science Technician first class) we used to put the electrical connection to a Salinity Temp Depth (STD) sensor in a film canister and fill it with epoxy to seal, (we also had Nansen bottles with the cool flip and save the temperature thermometers to do controls samples)
