    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.
    VOC-Free—VOC-free sealants won’t harm the environment and comply with LEED Green Building standards. VOC stands for volatile organic compound.

    Thread Sealants with PTFE

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Thread Sealants. Thread Sealants with PTFE, Tube.

    Tube

    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.
    Medium Locking Strength—Sealants with medium locking strength prevent threads from loosening due to vibration and shock. They require a hand tool to unthread.
