Lubricates threads, preventing costly thread damage from galling and seizing during assembly
Allows low breakaway torque for easy-to-break connections
Is compatible with a wide range of chemicals
Clings to threads and will not shred or tear on assembly
Technical Information
Composition: Particles of polyolefin resin and filler in a polymeric plasticizer. Material has lubricating qualities.
Pressure rating: Effective with pipe or fitting working pressure up to 10 000 psig (689 bar) at room temperature
Temperature rating: –65 to 300°F (–53 to 148°C)
Flash point: 355°F (179°C)
Storage: Shelf life is up to 5 years when stored at 45 to 85°F (8 to 29°C).
Use with metal pipe threads only.
Sealing Considerations Proper sealing depends on many variables—quality and cleanliness of threads, temperature, component material, installation torque, specific gravity of system media, and system operating pressures.
Warning: Do not use Swagelok PTFE-free pipe thread sealant in systems containing a strong oxidizer. A chemical reaction, including spontaneous combustion, can occur.
