Klinger Thermoseal Sealex® PTFE Tape Joint Sealant
Categories: Polymer; Tape; Thermoplastic; Fluoropolymer; Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)

Material Notes: Uses: Fume ducts. Concrete lids. Glass joints. Heat exchangers. Fiberglass reinforced plastic vessels. Pump or compressor housing flanges. Steam vessel flanges. Ceramic joints. Water systems. Valves and piping. Sealex joint sealant can be used wherever reliable gasketing is required. Sealex® joint sealant, specially processed, 100% pure PTFE on a roll, provides soft, highly compressible gasketing for longer life and trouble-free sealing. Its form-in-place versatility also cuts maintenance and storage costs. The high compressibility of Sealex® enables it to effectively fill flange imperfections for a tight, leak-free seal. Under pressure, it provides a very wide, thin ribbon-like joint sealant. Unlike conventional PTFE which is prone to cold flow, Sealex® has good creep resistance and bolt torque retention properties Sealex joint sealant does not support bacterial growth or cause product contamination and is FDA compliant. It has virtually no shelf-life concerns since PTFE is unaffected by normal environmental conditions. Sealex has excellent resistance properties to chemical attack. It works for most chemical services at temperatures to 500°F (260°C) and pressure to 2,000 psi (138 bar). The sealant is available in roll form in a wide variety of thicknesses and lengths.
