    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.

    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.
    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.
    Cannot Be Sold To—VOC regulations restrict sales of sealants that cannot be sold to the listed jurisdictions/areas.

    Solid and Paste Milling, Drilling, and Turning Coolants

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Coolants. Solid and Paste Milling, Drilling, and Turning Coolants, Jar.

    Jar

    An alternative to nearly dry machining, apply these coolants to tools before milling and machining to reduce heat with minimal cleanup. They’re often used with shallow drilling, reaming, and tapping, as well as on saw blades. Remove from tools and work surfaces with alcohol, methyl ethyl ketone, or a parts washer. They are chlorine free, for use where chlorine waste disposal is a concern, and sulfur free. Use at full strength.
    Jar—Coolant in a jar is a paste. It can also be used as a bending and forming paste.

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

    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.
    NSF/ANSI 61—To adhere to safety standards for drinking water systems, use sealants that meet NSF/ANSI 61.
    Cannot Be Sold To—Sealants that cannot be sold to the listed regions are restricted due to local VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) regulations.

    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.
    Tube—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.

    High-Temperature Thread Sealants

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Thread Sealants. High-Temperature Thread Sealants.
    These sealants have high locking strength, so they work in demanding applications, such as securing mounting studs in motor housings. They also withstand applications with large temperature swings.
    Heat—Heat cure sealant requires heat of at least 212° F to harden. Above 300° F, the sealant hardens in about 15 minutes. For temperatures below 300° F, it may take up to 4 hours to harden. It requires both heat and a hand tool to unthread.
    1,500° F Maximum Temperature—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.

    These thread 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.
    NSF/ANSI 61—To adhere to safety standards for drinking water systems, use sealants that meet NSF/ANSI 61.
    VOC-Free—Sealants that are VOC-free won’t harm the environment and comply with LEED Green Building standards. VOC stands for volatile organic compound.

    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.
