Our PTFE Thread Seal tape is an extruded polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) film, which has an extremely low coefficient of friction. Its nonconductivity makes it an excellent insulating material. It is nonreactive to numerous chemicals, making it very effective in pipe work and containers for reactive and corrosive substances. PTFE thread seal tape is wrapped in a convenient spool and locking cap and is easy to use. It is widely used for waterproofing, engineering, construction, and stopping water pipes from leaking. It is used in Domestic Plumbing, Chemical Plants, Auto Industries, Medical Equipment, Food Processing Units, Pharmaceutical Industries, Refineries, Gas Cylinders, and Hydraulic & Pneumatic Equipment. It is suitable for humid and low temperature environments.

Applications of PTFE Thread Seal Tape :
• Thread seal tape is appropriate for use on tapered threads, where the sealing force is a wedge action. Parallel threads may not seal effectively with or without tape, as they are intended to be sealed by a gasket.
• Thread seal tape is almost always applied by hand, although at least one machine is available for production wrapping of fittings.
• Thread seal tape is also commonly used in the stretching of body piercings, through a process known as taping, because it is inert and safe for this use. The wearer wraps a layer of tape around a plug and uses the jewelry, adding another layer every few days, thus gradually stretching the piercing.
