PTFE Tape 5" x 5" 250ft roll (600 sheets of 5"x 5")

PTFE tape is a thin, flexible film made from polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), commonly used as a thread sealant to prevent leaks in threaded pipe connections. Its inert, hydrophobic nature fills micro-gaps in threads, helping create a watertight or airtight seal in plumbing, gas, and fluid systems.

PTFE tape is chemically resistant, heat resistant, and has a low coefficient of friction, which means it does not harden, degrade, or bind to threads over time. It also serves as a lubricant during thread tightening, allowing easier assembly and future disassembly.

To achieve an effective seal, PTFE tape should be wrapped clockwise around clean male threads in the direction of tightening — this helps ensure the tape does not unwind as fittings are assembled. Wrapping two to four times is typically sufficient for most applications.

Yes. PTFE tape works with a wide range of materials, including metal and rigid plastic pipe threads. However, it’s important to choose the right type for the specific application (e.g., general water lines vs. gas lines) and follow technical or regulatory requirements.

PTFE tape offers excellent chemical resistance and performs well across a broad temperature range, making it suitable for many industrial, plumbing, and HVAC applications. It remains stable and functional in both high-temperature environments and when exposed to aggressive chemicals.
