What does PTFE mean in PRODUCTS

Plumbers Tape For Everything, or PTFE, is a pressure-sensitive adhesive sealant that is used to provide waterproof connections in plumbing systems. It is typically white in color and comes on a roll that can easily be torn off using your fingers.

PTFE can be used to form connections between pipes and fittings, preventing water leaks. It can also be used to help reduce friction between moving parts and ensure they are properly sealed against air loss or other elements entering the system.

No, applying PTFE is relatively simple. To properly use it you will need to clean the surfaces you are connecting, cut the desired length of tape from the roll and wrap it around your fittings with at least three layers, ensuring each layer overlaps the last by half its width.

One potential drawback to using PTFE is that it takes a bit more time than some other materials such as Teflon tape when forming connections as you will need to ensure all layers are applied correctly. Additionally, it is not suitable for temperatures over 500°F (260°C).
