Anaerobic Pipe Sealant With PTFE
This Anaerobic Pipe Sealant is a perfect alternative to traditional pipe dope or sealant tapes in that it is anaerobic – meaning it can cure in the absence of air and is designed to dry when enclosed between two threaded pipe fittings. It is easy to clean with just soap and water, should there be excess applied during use. This product will not dry out if the container is left open and will not thin during summer or thicken during winter. Allows for disassembly with normal tools.
Create a 100% leak-proof seal with this sealant in fire sprinkler, standpipe, and plumbing systems with ease! This oxygen-free sealant is available in a 250 ml squeezable tube and a 750 ml jug. It has a creamy paste-like viscosity and a white color, making it easily spreadable and visible during application. This sealant is UL Listed and should be stored in a cool, dry place at 60-90F.
Why might I need Anaerobic over traditional sealants?
Anaerobic pipe sealant is a type of adhesive that cures in the absence of oxygen. When applied to threaded pipe connections and assembled, it creates a strong, leak-proof bond. Some advantages of anaerobic pipe sealant include:
Fast curing – anaerobic sealants cure quickly, often within minutes, creating a reliable seal faster than pipe dope, which may require more time to set.
Potentially higher-strength seal – once cured, anaerobic sealants provide a robust and durable seal that is resistant to vibration and movement.
Thinner seal: Anaerobic sealants create a thinner, more even seal, which can lead to better engagement between the threads of the pipe connection.
If speed is crucial, anaerobic pipe sealant may be preferred due to its fast curing time. For applications requiring a high-strength, long-lasting seal, anaerobic sealant is often the better choice. In some cases, a combination of both sealants may be used, such as applying anaerobic sealant to create a primary seal and using pipe dope as a secondary seal or lubricant. Always consult the manufacturer's guidelines and industry best practices for proper sealant selection and application.
