PTFE Thread Seal Tape is a high-performance sealing tape made from 100 % virgin polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) resin that has been calendered into a thin, highly oriented film. Its uniform micro-fibrillated structure delivers exceptional conformability, lubricity, and chemical inertness, making it the first-choice sealant for pipe threads, hydraulic fittings, pneumatic systems, and instrumentation connections across every industry.
One of the key advantages of PTFE Thread Seal Tape is its outstanding chemical resistance. It is completely inert to acids, alkalis, solvents, fuels, oxidizers, and corrosive gases, ensuring leak-free performance in chemical processing, pharmaceutical, food & beverage, and petrochemical plants. Additionally, it remains functional over an extreme temperature range, typically from –200 °C to +260 °C, without hardening, cracking, or losing sealing integrity.
The low-friction, non-stick surface of PTFE tape acts as both a thread lubricant and a sealant, reducing galling and allowing tighter, more uniform assembly torque. The tape’s high elongation enables it to fill thread crest-to-root gaps instantly, compensating for minor surface imperfections and producing a reliable, high-pressure seal with minimal wrap—often only 1½–2 turns.
PTFE Thread Seal Tape is clean, non-toxic, and free of fillers or pigments, meeting FDA, EU 10/2011, and WRAS requirements for potable water and hygienic applications. Its pure white color (or color-coded grades for oxygen, gas, and aerospace use) provides instant visual identification of compliance and service type.
Another advantage is its ease of use and removal. The tape installs quickly without curing time, tools, or mess, and it peels away cleanly during disassembly, eliminating the risk of shredded fibers contaminating sensitive downstream equipment.
Overall, PTFE Thread Seal Tape delivers fast, dependable sealing performance, universal chemical compatibility, and maintenance simplicity, making it an indispensable solution for leak-proof threaded joints in plumbing, HVAC, automotive, aerospace, and industrial fluid systems.
