Threading Tape, also known as Teflon tape or plumber's tape, is a thin, flexible tape used to seal the threads of pipes and fittings to prevent leaks in plumbing, gas, and other threaded connections. It is typically made from polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), providing excellent resistance to chemicals, heat, and pressure.
Key Features:
- Prevents Leaks: Seals threaded connections in pipes and fittings to prevent water, gas, or air from leaking.
- Easy Application: Simple to use; it is wrapped around pipe threads before tightening the connection.
- Heat and Chemical Resistance: PTFE material can withstand high temperatures and harsh chemicals, making it ideal for a wide range of applications.
- Corrosion Protection: Helps protect threads from corrosion by forming a barrier between metal surfaces.
