About Structural Adhesives

About Sealant Flexibility

PTFE provides a slippery surface that keeps threads from binding. These sealants are anaerobic, so they don’t begin to harden until coated surfaces are threaded together, blocking exposure to air.

Sealants with low locking strength prevent threads from loosening due to vibration and can be adjusted without tools.

To adhere to safety standards for drinking water systems, use sealants that meet NSF/ANSI 61.

Non-Hardening Thread Sealants with PTFE

PTFE provides a slippery surface that keeps threads from binding. These sealants never fully harden, remaining pliable enough to self-heal and stop leaks before they start, so they’re often used in high-vibration applications that could cause standard thread sealants to fail. Since they have low locking strength, these sealants can be adjusted without tools.

To adhere to safety standards for drinking water systems, use sealants that meet NSF/ANSI 61.

VOC (volatile organic compounds) regulations restrict sales of sealants that cannot be sold to the listed jurisdictions/areas.

Pipe Cement for Plastic Pipe

Create strong, leakproof joints between unthreaded pipe and fittings. Cleaner and primer (sold separately) are recommended to prepare pipe for adhesion.

Cement for CPVC plastic and for PVC plastic meets NSF/ANSI 61 safety standards for use on drinking water systems. It is also suitable for drain, waste, and vent pipes.

Cement for ABS plastic is for use in drain, waste, and vent systems.

Cement for ABS, PVC, and CPVC plastic works on most plastic pipe, conduit, water lines, and drain, waste, and vent systems.

Cement cannot be sold to the areas listed due to VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) regulations.
