    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.
    Low Locking Strength—Sealants with low locking strength prevent threads from loosening due to vibration and can be adjusted without tools.
    NSF/ANSI 61—To adhere to safety standards for drinking water systems, use sealants that meet NSF/ANSI 61.

    Non-Hardening Thread Sealants with PTFE

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Thread Sealants. Non-Hardening Thread Sealants with PTFE, Applicator-Top Can.

    Applicator-Top Can

    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.
    NSF/ANSI 61—Sealants that meet NSF/ANSI 61 adhere to safety standards for drinking water systems.

    Choose-a-Color High-Density Thread Sealant Tape

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Thread Sealants. Choose-a-Color High-Density Thread Sealant Tape.
    Use color to identify water, gas, and chemical connections. This tape has a higher density than standard tape for a better seal between threads. Made of PTFE, it has a slippery surface that keeps threads from binding to make parts easy to assemble.
    Green—Green tape is often used for oxygen.
    Orange and Yellow—Orange and yellow tape is commonly used to indicate fuel and gas.
    Red—Red tape is often used for water.

    These thread sealants are anaerobic, so they don’t begin to harden until coated surfaces are threaded together, blocking exposure to air.
    Medium Locking Strength—Sealants with medium locking strength prevent threads from loosening due to vibration and shock. They require a hand tool to unthread.
    NSF/ANSI 61—To adhere to safety standards for drinking water systems, use sealants that meet NSF/ANSI 61.

    Tube

    Formulated for high lubricity, these sealants allow easy assembly of finely threaded hydraulic and compressed air system components. They're also free of fillers that could contaminate system media. These sealants are anaerobic, so they don’t begin to harden until coated surfaces are threaded together, blocking exposure to air.
    Medium Locking Strength—These sealants have medium locking strength, which prevents threads from loosening due to vibration and shock. They require a hand tool to unthread.

    Drip-Free Non-Hardening Thread Sealants with PTFE

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Thread Sealants. Drip-Free Non-Hardening Thread Sealants with PTFE.
    Apply these thread sealant sticks without a mess. They contain PTFE, which 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. They meet NSF/ANSI 61 for use with drinking water.
