Description
PTFE tape is an essential sealing material used to wrap around threaded pipe fittings, ensuring a watertight connection and reducing the risk of leaks or drips. Its non-adhesive, thin-film structure also provides lubrication, allowing for easier tightening and a better fit, particularly in plumbing and compressed air systems.
Key Features & Benefits
- Effective Thread Sealing: Prevents leakage from threaded joints in water, air, and gas systems.
- Lubricates Threads: Reduces friction during tightening for smoother assembly and disassembly.
- Versatile Application: Suitable for use with metal and plastic threaded fittings.
- Non-Hardening: Allows future adjustment or disassembly without thread damage.
- Resistant to Moisture and Chemicals: Durable in various domestic and industrial environments.
