When it may not be suitable

This tape is not intended for use on threads that require a permanent adhesive bond, as it is designed to facilitate disassembly. It may also be unsuitable for systems involving highly aggressive chemicals not compatible with PTFE material.

Key specifications

• Width: 25 mm
• Thickness: 0.075 mm
• Length: 12 m
• Material: PTFE
• Adhesive properties: Yes

How to use

To apply the tape, ensure the threaded surface is clean, dry, and free of debris. Begin at the end of the male thread and wrap the tape in the direction of the thread spiral. Maintain tension while wrapping to ensure the tape conforms tightly to the grooves. Overlap each layer by approximately half the width of the tape. Continue wrapping until the threads are fully covered, then tear the tape and press the end firmly against the joint before tightening the connection.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the thread size to ensure the 25mm width is appropriate for your application.
• Check the compatibility of PTFE with the specific fluids or gases in your system.
• Ensure the operating pressure of your installation does not exceed the tape's performance limits.

Usage recommendations

For optimal sealing performance, ensure that the tape is wrapped in the same direction as the tightening of the fitting to prevent it from unraveling during installation.
