Product Description
Teflon tape, often referred to as PTFE tape (Polytetrafluoroethylene tape), is a type of non-adhesive tape widely used to seal threaded connections in plumbing, gas lines, and other applications where preventing leakage is important. The tape is made of a white, smooth, and flexible material that helps create a tight seal between threaded parts, ensuring no leaks from the joints. It also provides lubrication, which makes it easier to screw the parts together without damaging the threads.
Here’s a description of Teflon Tape 10 Meter 15mm White:
- Length: The tape is 10 meters long, offering ample supply for several applications.
- Width: It’s 15mm wide, providing enough coverage to wrap around most standard threaded connections.
- Color: White, which is the most common color for Teflon tape. It helps indicate that the tape is made from PTFE, which is non-toxic and safe for plumbing, water, and gas use.
- Material: Made of PTFE, a high-performance polymer that is chemically resistant, heat-resistant, and very slick, making it ideal for use in sealing pipe threads, preventing leaks, and reducing friction.
- Thickness: Typically, Teflon tape has a thin but durable texture, making it easy to wrap around pipe threads without adding too much bulk, yet still effective in sealing.
- Uses: Commonly used in plumbing, gas lines, heating systems, automotive repairs, and more. It’s especially useful for sealing threaded metal or plastic fittings and connections to prevent water, gas, or air leaks.
- Properties:
- Heat-resistant: It can withstand high temperatures, making it perfect for use in hot water systems and heating systems.
- Chemical-resistant: Resistant to a wide range of chemicals, so it works in both residential and industrial settings.
- Non-toxic: Safe to use in drinking water pipes and other sensitive applications.
Teflon tape is a must-have in plumbing and mechanical work, where a tight seal between connections is crucial. The 10-meter length and 15mm width are ideal for both small and larger-scale projects.
