About Sealant Flexibility

Non-Hardening Thread Sealants with PTFE
PTFE provides a slippery surface that keeps threads from binding. These sealants never fully harden, remaining pliable enough to self-heal and stop leaks before they start, so they’re often used in high-vibration applications that could cause standard thread sealants to fail. Since they have low locking strength, these sealants can be adjusted without tools.
Gasoila sealants are designed specifically to resist gasoline and fuel oils, making them best for motors, nozzles, pump assemblies, and fuel lines.
Sealants that meet NSF/ANSI 61 adhere to safety standards for drinking water systems.
VOC-free sealants won’t harm the environment and comply with LEED Green Building standards. VOC stands for volatile organic compound.
VOC regulations restrict sales of sealants that cannot be sold to the listed jurisdictions/areas.

Non-Hardening Thread Sealants
Often used in high-vibration applications that could cause standard thread sealants to fail, these never fully harden and remain pliable enough to self-heal and stop leaks before they start. Formulated without PTFE, these sealants are less slippery and less likely to result in overtightenting than sealants that have PTFE, making them good for plastic pipe where overtightening could lead to cracks and breaks. They have low locking strength, so they can be adjusted without tools.
To adhere to safety standards for drinking water systems, use sealants that meet NSF/ANSI 61.
Sealants that cannot be sold to the listed regions are restricted due to local VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) regulations.
