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. They have low locking strength, so they can be adjusted without tools.

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

These thread sealants are anaerobic, so they don’t begin to harden until coated surfaces are threaded together, blocking exposure to air.

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

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.

These sealants have high locking strength, so they work in demanding applications, such as securing mounting studs in motor housings.

Room-temperature cure sealants must be mixed with water for use; they harden as the water evaporates. Mix about five parts powdered-sealant to one part water to form a thick consistency similar to peanut butter. Hardening can be accelerated with heat; do not heat to above 200° F. They require a hand tool to unthread.

1000° F max. temp. sealants expand as they harden.

1500° F max. temp. sealants are for use on cement-lined pipe joints prior to welding. The heat from the welding torch helps them begin to harden.

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.

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

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.

The sealant in a tube is a good alternative to thread sealant tape—like tape, it forms PTFE strings between tightened threads, but excess material liquefies, so it won’t clog system components downstream.

This tape contains nickel to prevent seizing and galling associated with stainless steel threaded connections. It’s also good for use with other metals. 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.

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

PTFE 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.

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.
