PTFE tape: ideal for sealing and chemical resistance

What is PTFE tape?

Le PTFE tape is a technical adhesive made from polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), also known under the trade name of Teflon™. This material has exceptional physical and chemical properties : chemical inertia, high thermal resistance, non-stick and low coefficient of friction. 

Le teflon is mainly used to guarantee thewaterproofing threaded connections in plumbing and industry, but also as anti-friction barrier in mechanical applications. Available in adhesive or self-amalgamatingIt adapts to a wide range of environments, even extreme ones.

Advantages of PTFE tapes

Le teflon offers unrivalled advantages, making it indispensable in many sectors: 

  • Excellent chemical resistance Withstands acids, bases and aggressive solvents. 
  • High temperature Stable from -200°C to +260°C. 
  • Non-stick properties The dirt trap: prevents the build-up of residues or dirt. 
  • Easy to apply Simple winding on threads or mechanical surfaces. 
  • Low coefficient of friction Reduced mechanical wear through slippage. 
  • Prevents leaks : ensures perfect sealing of threaded connections. 
  • Longer service life even in harsh environments (water, steam, chemicals). 

Plumbing and heating sector 

Used for l'waterproofing threaded connectors (cold water, hot water, low-pressure gas), PTFE tape is a standard for professional plumbers and installers. 

Chemical and petrochemical industry 

Thanks to its exceptional chemical inertnessthe teflon is used to protect or insulate pipes, valves or equipment in contact with corrosive products. 

Mechanical and industrial sector 

It is used to reduce friction between moving parts, protect against friction and limit premature wear. Adhesive PTFE tapes are also used to line guides and conveyors. 

Electronics and laboratories 

PTFE tape is appreciated for its excellent electrical insulation and its resistance to high temperatures, offering safety and stability in technical environments.

FAQ - Teflon

PTFE tape is a tape made of polytetrafluoroethyleneused mainly forsealing of threaded connections. It is resistant to chemicals and heat and has excellent properties. non-stick and insulating. 

PTFE tape is used for sealing the threads plumbing, gas, compressed air or chemical piping systems. It ensures perfect sealingThis makes them easy to dismantle without damaging the threads. 

Yes, PTFE tape withstands very high temperatures, often of -200 °C to +260 °C. It retains its sealing and sliding properties even in thermally extreme environments. 

Yes, but you have to use a specific version for gasIt is often thicker and complies with standards (e.g. EN 751-3). It offers greater safety and resistance to pressure in low and medium-pressure gas circuits. 

Yes, PTFE tape can be used on plastic connectorsIt can also be used to tighten screws, as long as you don't over-tighten to avoid damaging the threads. Suitable for plastic, brass, copper and stainless steel. 

Le standard PTFE tape is non-adhesive and is used to seal threads. The PTFE adhesive tapehas a sticky side and is used as a barrier anti-friction, thermal insulation or coating non-stick.
