PTFE Pipe Thread Sealant
FOVAC® PTFE Pipe Thread Sealant is a non-hardening thread sealant containing Teflon* plus synthetic fibers. These fibers, dispersed in a resinous base combined with inert mineral fillers, provide maximum sealing performance. Its low coefficient of friction allows tighter joint makeup with lower torque. It also breaks out easily without galling, seizing, or damaging threads. It is excellent for service where immediate pressurization is necessary.
FOVAC ® PTFE holds tight against vibration, expansion, and contraction. Brushable; non-separating; will not run or drip from joints. Soft set; no cure time required. Withstands temperatures from -100ºF to 600ºF (on steel pipe), and pressures of 12,000 psi (hydraulic), 3000 psi (gas).
For use with liquids, including acids and alkalis, and gases (except oxygen).
For use on metals, including galvanized steel, black iron, aluminum, copper, brass, stainless steel, and on PVC, ABS, and CPVC plastics (for use on specific brands of CPVC pipe, verify suitability with pipe manufacturer).
Superior anti-galling properties with stainless steel. Excellent resistance to strong acids, alkalis, and ketones. Non-flammable and contains no heavy metals or volatile solvents.
FOVAC ® PTFE is non-toxic and conforms to ANSI/NSF Standard 61, safe for drinking water lines. Meets Fed. Spec. TT-S- 1732.
