PTFE Thread Seal Tape
Thread Seal
i-STIX® Teflon Tape, also known as PTFE tape or plumber's tape, is a versatile and indispensable tool for creating secure, leak-proof connections in plumbing systems. This thin white tape is commonly used to seal pipe threads, preventing water, air, and gas from leaking through threaded connections that lack built-in rubber seals. Known for its ease of use and effectiveness, Teflon® Tape is small enough for minor repairs but wide enough for longer tubes. It is highly resistant to chemicals and can be used at temperatures ranging from -270°C to 260°C.
