PTFE Thread Seal Tape

PTFE Thread Seal Tape

Our PTFE thread seal tape has a widerange of applications, and is most commonly used for pipe thread sealing.Hence, it is also called plumber's tape. To assure convenient pipe threadsealing, the tape is cut into specified widths. Before a pipe is screwed intoplace, the PTFE tape should be wrapped around the exposed pipe threads. Thetape dope has found wide range of applications in central heating system andother pressurized water systems. It is also used in air compression equipmentand thread joints with coarse threads.

Features
The product is solvent and flame resistant, and provides economical andeasy uses. During the production process, no curing time is required. Due toPTFE material’s friction resistance, PTFE thread seal tape offers goodlubrication function when used for thread sealing in tapered pipes. Therefore,it allows the threads to be screwed together more easily to create the bestsealing performance.

Applications
PTFE thread seal tape is the optimum solution for sealing tapered threads,where the sealing force is a wedge action. But we don’t recommend using thetape for sealing of parallel threads. Usually, the tape is wrapped around the pipe threads for three times tomake sure the sealing is tight and leakages can be prevented.
Chemically inert, PTFE tape is safe to be regularly used in the stretching ofbody piercings. The tape is wrapped around the plugsof wearers, thus gradually increasing the size of the piercing.
