    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.

    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

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Thread Sealants. 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Thread Sealants for Hydraulic and Compressed Air Systems

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Thread Sealants. Thread Sealants for Hydraulic and Compressed Air Systems, Tube.

    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.
