Thread seal tape used in plumbing applications is most commonly white, but it is also available in various colors. It is often used to correspond to color coded pipelines (US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand: yellow for natural gas, green for oxygen, etc.).In the UK, tape is used from coloured reels, e.g. yellow reels for gas, green for potable water.
Thread seal tape (also known as PTFE tape or plumber’s tape) is a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) film for use in sealing pipe threads. The tape is sold cut to specific widths and wound on a spool, making it easy to wind around pipe threads. It is also known by the genericised trade-name polymer tape; while polymer is in fact identical to PTFE, Chemours (the trade-mark holders) consider this usage incorrect, especially as they no longer manufacture polymer in tape form. Thread seal tape lubricates allowing for a deeper seating of the threads, and it helps prevent the threads from seizing when being unscrewed. The tape also works as a deformable filler and thread lubricant, helping to seal the joint without hardening or making it more difficult to tighten, and instead making it easier to tighten.
Our engaged in manufacturing PTFE polymer tape machine, which also called as PTFE tape machine, Thread seal tape machine, more than 20 years, now honor ISO9001 and CE certificate obtained. We are the very first one who manufacture PTFE Tape Machine in China. Not only could we provide you the production line, but also provide raw material. The main machines include: Mixer, Calender, Slitter, Pressing Machine, Oven, Wrapping machine etc..
Range of final PTFE thread seal tape: Thickness: 0.05-0.3mm or more (according your requirement);Width: 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 19mm, 25mm or others, according to your requirement;Length: 8m, 10m, 12m, 15m, 18m, 20m ,25m, 40, etc..according to your requirement.
PTFE is widely used in a variety of needs, such as: anti-acid and organic solvents, which itself has no toxic to people, but one of the raw materials used in the production process of ammonium perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) is considered likely to have a carcinogenic effect.
