Aerospace Specialty Tapes – Bonding Thread Sealing
Aerospace Specialty Tapes – Bonding Thread Sealing Tape:
✅ Aerospace Specialty Tapes – Bonding Thread Sealing (PTFE Tape)
✈️ Use / Purpose
- ✅ Thread Sealing Tape (commonly PTFE / Teflon tape) is used in aerospace and industrial applications to:
- Seal threaded pipe & fitting connections
- Prevent leaks in air, water, hydraulic & fuel lines (as per system approval)
- Protect threads from corrosion and galling
⭐ Key Features
- Creates tight leak-proof seal
- Chemical resistant (oil, fuel, solvents) (grade dependent)
- Reduces thread friction for smooth tightening
- Helps prevent seizing / corrosion
- Works on metal-to-metal threaded joints
- Available in standard / high density / heavy duty grades
✅ Applications
- Pneumatic fittings sealing
- Compressed air lines
- Water / coolant lines
- Maintenance & assembly use
- Thread protection during service
✅ Best Types (Quick Guide)
- ✅ Standard PTFE: general sealing
- ✅ High Density PTFE: high pressure, stronger seal
- ✅ Oxygen service PTFE: for special aircraft gas systems (only certified types)
