PTFE Thread Sealing Tape, also known as PTFE Tape or Teflon Tape, is a thin white tape used to seal the threads of pipes and fittings. It is made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), a synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene. PTFE tapes are known for their excellent chemical resistance and high temperature resistance, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.
Some properties of stretchable smooth PTFE thread sealing tape include:
Smooth Surface: PTFE tape has a smooth surface that slides easily over the threads of pipe or fittings without snagging or snagging.
Low Coefficient of Friction: PTFE tape has a low coefficient of friction, which means it moves easily over itself and other surfaces, making it easy to wrap around the threads of pipe or fittings.
Non-stick: PTFE tape is non-stick, which means it will not leave any residue on the threads of the pipe or fitting when it is removed.
Chemical Resistance: PTFE tape is resistant to most chemicals, including acids, alkalis and oils, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
High temperature resistance: PTFE tape can withstand high temperature, so it is suitable for use in high temperature applications.
Low gas permeability: Teflon tape has low gas permeability, which means it can effectively seal gas lines and prevent leaks.
Ease of Application: PTFE tape is easy to apply as it can be easily wrapped by hand around the threads of a pipe or fitting.
Retractable: Retractable PTFE tape comes in a dispenser, the tape can be easily pulled out and cut to desired length.
