What is a PTFE Tape?

A PTFE tape, also known as a “thread seal tape” or “plumber’s tape”, is a common but inexpensive thin white tape mainly used for piping or ductwork jobs, and is commonly used in sealing pipe threads.

Technically known as polytetrafluoroethylene, these tapes are nothing but a long strip of synthetic polymer film, which come in a range of sizes and are sold pre-cut on rolls and spools. These tapes come in a protective casing to help preserve the adhesive on the tape. Being readily available PTFE tapes are quite versatile and perform similar to an adhesive tape.

Features of PTFE Tape

PTFE tapes come with numerous key properties that make them incredibly versatile tools. The most important one being the hydrophobic property which makes the tape water-repellant and therefore, a great utility for plumbing type jobs.

Another distinguishing factor that PTFE tapes have is that of being less frictious, making it ideal for tasks like lubricating joint threads in piping. Adding PTFE tape around a joint thread makes it easier for screwing and disconnecting parts later on.

Depending on the type, PTFE tape can have many other properties in order to suit certain environments or jobs.

• Non-reactive : PTFE tapes contain an inert chemical substance and are thus non-reactive with other substances. It makes them perfect for environments where there is a presence of acids or gases.
• Pressure resistant : With the ability to withstand immense pressure, PTFE tapes are ideal in high pressure line applications.
• High-temperature resistant : PTFE tapes can withstand temperatures as high as 500°F, making them useful for coils, capacitors, and wiring.
• Malleable : This quality makes PTFE tapes best for winding around pipe fittings like threads, joints and valves.
• Usability : Thanks to being non-sticky, PTFE tapes make for great self-adhesives. They are easy to remove and apply later on.
