Krytox TS4 Thread Sealant

  • Krytox TS4 Thread Sealant

  • Description :

    Traditionally, PTFE (Teflon™) tape is used to seal valves, actuators, pipe fittings and fasteners.  Krytox™ TS4 PFPE sealant provides the highest securing performance for water, air, steam, natural gas, reactive gases and liquids without the drawbacks of tapes. Thread sealant (TS4) is unlike PTFE tape, which should be removed before re-application. Krytox TS4 can be re-applied over existing Krytox thread sealant. Clings to threads and will not shred or tear on assembly/disassembly.

Krytox TS4 Thread Sealant

Superior Performance, Unmatched Chemical and Corrosion Resistance, Direct replacement for Teflon™ Tape

Krytox TS4 Thread Sealant (TS4) is unlike PTFE tape, which should be removed before re-application. Krytox TS4 Thread Sealant can be re-applied over existing Krytox thread sealant. Clings to threads and will not shred or tear on assembly/disassembly.Cannot plug or restrict critical piping, valves, or instruments like tape solids. Krytox™ TS4 is non-reactive, non-toxic, non-flammable, non-corrosive and compatible with the most seal, O-ring, and valve polymers. No VOC content or hydrocarbon in the product; safe for oxygen use with no auto-ignition temperatures. Tested leak free under helium at 400 psi for 7 days.* Safe for use: The Chlorine Institute (Pamphlet 164) rates Krytox lubricants a “1”. Lubricates threads, preventing costly thread damage from galling and seizing during assembly. Allows low breakaway torque for easy-to-break connections.

Benefits of TS4:

  • Unlike PTFE Teflon tape, Krytox TS4 can be re-applied over existing Krytox thread sealant without issue.
  • Clings to threads and will not shred or tear on assembly/disassembly.
  • Cannot plug or restrict critical piping, valves, or instruments like tape solids.
  • Non-reactive, non-toxic, nonflammable, non-corrosive and compatible with most seal, O-ring, and valve polymers.
  • No VOC content or hydrocarbon in the product; safe for oxygen use with no auto-ignition temperatures.
  • Cost-effective—only a small amount of sealant needed per application.
  • Fast and easy to apply, even while wearing protective gloves.
  • Operating temperature range of –54–149 ºC (–65–300 ºF).
  • Tested leak free under helium at 400 psi for 7 days.*

Krytox TS4 Thread Sealant – Provides Superior Sealing for all Threaded Pipes

Krytox TS4 was designed from its inception to have higher performance and be safer and easier to use than standard Teflon Tape. Utilizing over 60 years of thread sealant experience, our new TS4 was developed to perform where other sealants fail.  Higher pressure, corrosive environments are the ideal application of our TS4 sealant. Traditionally, PTFE (Teflon™) tape is used to seal valves, actuators, pipe fittings and fasteners.  Krytox™ TS4 PFPE sealant provides the highest securing performance for water, air, steam, natural gas, reactive gases and liquids without the drawbacks of tapes. PTFE tapes can result in costly thread damage during assembly due to galling and seizure.  Krytox™ TS4 provides for low breakaway torque for easy-to-break connections.  Additionally, TS4 is a cost effective solution when compared to like chemistries and products, such as Halocarbon Grease, Fluorolube Grease, Lox-8 Paste or PTFE tape as only a minor amount is needed per application.
