Thread seal tape (also known as PTFE tape, Teflontape, or plumber's tape) is a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) film tape commonlyused in plumbing for sealing pipe threads. The tape is sold cut to specificwidths and wound on a spool, making it easy to wind around pipe threads. Threadseal tape lubricates allowing for a deeper seating of the threads, and it helpsprevent the threads from seizing when being unscrewed. The tape also works as adeformable filler and thread lubricant, helping to seal the joint withouthardening or making it more difficult to tighten, and instead making it easierto tighten.
Typically the tape is wrapped around a pipe's threadthree times before it is screwed into place. It is commonly used commerciallyin applications including pressurized water systems, central heating systems,and air compression equipment.
Temperature Range: -450°F to +500°F (-268°C to+260°C). PTFE is completely stable up to +500?F or +260?C. Decomposition isslow up to 750°F or 400°C. Decomposition will occur on contact with openflames.
