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.
