Can a silicone sealant be applied over Hilti 606 fire caulking at an exterior wall penetration?

We are required to fire caulk around our fire place vent locations at exterior wall penetrations and we want to protect the fire caulking with a silicone based sealant at the weather barrier plane, in a rain screen system. Is silicone (DOWSIL 791, or DOWSIL 795)compatible with the Hilti 606 product?
