Non-Hardening Thread Sealants with PTFE


Applicator-Top Can	Tube

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.

Gasoila—Gasoila sealants are designed specifically to resist gasoline and fuel oils, making them best for motors, nozzles, pump assemblies, and fuel lines.

Thread Sealants for Oxygen Systems

Jar

Completely free of oil and chemically inert, these sealants are safe to use with wet and dry oxygen systems. They contain PTFE, which provides a slippery surface that keeps threads from binding. These sealants are non-hardening, 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.

Reusable Non-Hardening Thread Sealants for Coarse Threads

Much thicker than sealants for fine threads, these sealants bridge the gaps between coarse threads. Threads coated with these sealants can be installed multiple times without recoating. They have low locking strength, so they prevent threads from loosening due to vibration and can be adjusted without tools. They meet NSF/ANSI 61 for use with drinking water.

Thread Sealant Tape

Made of PTFE, this tape has a slippery surface that keeps threads from binding to make parts easy to assemble.

ePTFE with Graphite—ePTFE tape with graphite creates a better seal between threads than plain PTFE tape, which helps prevent fluid and gas leaks. The graphite attaches to the PTFE, so this tape does not emit harmful VOCs.

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.

Non-Hardening Thread Sealants


Applicator-Top Can	Applicator-Top Bottle

Often used in high-vibration applications that could cause standard thread sealants to fail, these never fully harden and remain pliable enough to self-heal and stop leaks before they start. Formulated without PTFE, these sealants are less slippery and less likely to result in overtightenting than sealants that have PTFE, making them good for plastic pipe where overtightening could lead to cracks and breaks. They have low locking strength, so they can be adjusted without tools.

Thread Sealants

Tube

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.
