Form of delivery
- 1/2" tape: 12.7 mm wide and 12 mtr length per roll
- 1" tape: 25 x 0.2 mm wide and 20 mtr length per roll
- 1 order unit is 10 rolls
Material of construction
- 100 % virgin, unsintered PTFE
- Homogenous fiber structure with high density.
- Chemical inert with the exception of molten Alcalimetal and elementary Fluor
Assembly
Wrap PTFE tape clockwise, starting at the thread end, around the pipe thread. Coarse threads we recommend 50 % overlap (see pic right).
Stretch the tape so it plies in the form of the thread.
When finished tear of the tape and check that it stays in position.
HD W1 Thread Sealing Tape
Special thread tape made from unsintered expanded PTFE (ePTFE)
Characteristics
- High density and strength properties
- HD Tape plies during the wrapping in the thread and forms a dense PTFE film, which does not harden and stays flexible
- Immediate after connection of the construction parts it is possible to turn them 45° back for alignment.
- Chemically inert and does not react with steam, water, fuel, acids, gases or solvents.
- Once applied the connection can be disassembled
- Fretting of the threads is practically impossible
