![]() ![]() Thread seal tape is thus required to seal any spiral leak paths or voids that may exist between threads on the fitting and the port, while also limiting corrosion on the threads, which otherwise can make future disassembly nearly impossible. It was developed by Mill-Rose in response to the demand for a higher-quality PTFE thread sealing tape that is easier to apply ensuring dependable, leak-proof joints. Blue Monster is not to thick and not too thin. ![]() Tapered threads provide the mechanical strength, however, the main disadvantage is that voids in the connection can still remain once the mating threads are drawn together, resulting in the potential for leakage and galling, especially since there is no other sealing mechanism besides the thread themselves. Blue Monster PTFE Thread Seal Tape is a blue color-coded, professional-grade density thread sealing tape for thousands of applications. Tapered threads form a seal when torqued as the flanks of the threads compress against each other, as opposed to parallel/straight thread fittings or compression fittings in which the threads merely hold the pieces together and do not provide the seal. It is designed for use on tapered/pipe threads where the sealing force is a wedge action, to ensure the most effective seal for the transport of liquids, gases, steam, and hydraulic fluid through pipes made from materials such as steel, brass, PTFE, nylon, bronze, and cast iron. PTFE Thread Seal Tape is commonly used commercially in applications including pressurised water systems, central heating systems, and air compression equipment. The tape also works as a deformable filler and thread lubricant, helping to seal the joint without hardening or making it more difficult to tighten – instead, making it easier to tighten. It lubricates, allowing for a deeper seating of the threads, thereby helping to prevent the threads from seizing when being unscrewed. PTFE Thread Seal Tape (also known as 'PTFE Tape', 'Teflon Tape', or 'Plumber's Tape') is a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) film tape commonly used in plumbing for sealing pipe threads. Made of 100% PTFE, it is resistant to most common chemicals, sealing threaded pipe connections up to 9.5mm (3/8 inch) in diameter, at temperatures between -268 oC and +260 oC. All purpose - use on iron, brass, copper, aluminum, stainless steel, galvanized steel, polyethylene, polypropylene, PVC, CPVC, ABS, fiberglass and more.PTFE Thread Sealant Tape (White) is a high-density tape of approximately 0.3g/cm 3, which is generally used as an allrounder, and for less critical applications.Seals threads effectively in more applications. ![]()
