About Sealant Flexibility

Thread Sealants with PTFE
PTFE provides a slippery surface that keeps threads from binding. These sealants are anaerobic, so they don’t begin to harden until coated surfaces are threaded together, blocking exposure to air.
Sealants with low locking strength prevent threads from loosening due to vibration and can be adjusted without tools.
To adhere to safety standards for drinking water systems, use sealants that meet NSF/ANSI 61.

Drip-Free Thread Sealants with PTFE
Apply this thread sealant stick without a mess. It contains PTFE, which provides a slippery surface that keeps threads from binding. Since the sealant is anaerobic, it doesn’t begin to harden until coated surfaces are threaded together, blocking exposure to air. It has low locking strength, so it prevents threads from loosening due to vibration and can be adjusted without tools. It meets NSF/ANSI 61 for use with drinking water.

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.
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.

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.

Reusable Non-Hardening Thread Sealants for Coarse Threads
Much thicker than sealants for fine threads, these sealants bridge the gaps between coarse threads. Threads coated with these sealants can be installed multiple times without recoating. They have low locking strength, so they prevent threads from loosening due to vibration and can be adjusted without tools. They meet NSF/ANSI 61 for use with drinking water.
Reusable Non-Hardening Thread Sealants for Fine Threads
Formulated to flow into small spaces, use these sealants between fine threads. Threads coated with these sealants can be installed multiple times without recoating. They have low locking strength, so they prevent threads from loosening due to vibration and can be adjusted without tools. They meet NSF/ANSI 61 for use with drinking water.
Thread Sealants
These thread sealants are anaerobic, so they don’t begin to harden until coated surfaces are threaded together, blocking exposure to air.
Sealants with medium locking strength prevent threads from loosening due to vibration and shock. They require a hand tool to unthread.
To adhere to safety standards for drinking water systems, use sealants that meet NSF/ANSI 61.

High-Temperature Thread Sealants
These sealants have high locking strength, so they work in demanding applications, such as securing mounting studs in motor housings. They also withstand applications with large temperature swings.
Room-temperature cure sealants must be mixed with water for use; they harden as the water evaporates. Mix about five parts powdered-sealant to one part water to form a thick consistency similar to peanut butter. Hardening can be accelerated with heat; do not heat to above 200° F. They require a hand tool to unthread.
1000° F max. temp. sealants expand as they harden.
1500° F max. temp. sealants are for use on cement-lined pipe joints prior to welding. The heat from the welding torch helps them begin to harden.
