PTFE, often referred to as Plumbers Tape, is actually a Polytetrafluoroethylene film used for sealing threads on pipe fittings, typically within the plumbing trade. By wrapping small amounts around a thread before connecting, the thin film can help stop liquid and gas leaks.
The use of PTFE tape can also lubricate as it is a deformable filler and helps to seat the thread deeper without hardening. This gives prolonged protection over leaks as well as protecting from long term seizing. Providing these numerous benefits with very little work PTFE tape is a must for almost any pipe work. You can read more information about its uses in our PTFE Tapes Guide.
