Type of Sealant for Copper Pipes

[msharrisuk]

Hi. I have fitted vinyl Goliath flooring in my bathroom and want to add some clear waterproof bathroom sealant around the base of the (enamel painted) radiator copper pipes as they come through the flooring to stop any water dripping through into the void.

I understand some types of sealant can corrode the copper.

Which is the best to use? Silicone? Acrylic? Something else?

Ideally from Wickes!

Many thanks.

silicone will not damage the copper.
Why don't you get some pipe collars like these.

Thanks for confirming Silicone is OK on copper.

I thought of the collars, but the pipes are right up against the wall and would need to be cut and thus look naff (also dark flooring).
