Pipe Seal with PTFE – 50ml – A2572

Description

Equivalent to well known brand product  572 – White.

Pipe Seal with PTFE A2572 is a slow-curing pipe sealant designed for the locking and sealing of metal pipes and fittings, and is used on most hydraulic, pneumatic, oil, water and gas connections. It provides a non‐shrink, instant, low-pressure seal on tightened fittings of up to 150psi. Once fully cured, Pipe Seal with PTFE A2572 can resist pressures of up to 10,000psi, whilst maintaining a vibration-proof seal that is resistant to most chemicals and corrosion. This grade is designed to offer a controlled low break strength, which allows easy component disassembly.

Pipe Seal with PTFE A2572 also contains Teflon, which lubricates the parts during assembly, providing additional maintenance support. Also, due to the advanced cure system, this grade allows the parts to be repositioned up to 48 hours after application, which has proven a huge advantage in both MRO and OEM market sectors.

Adhesive Technical Information

What is Pipe Seal with PTFE – 50ml – A2572?

It’s a type of thread sealant used for sealing threaded pipe joints. The inclusion of PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) enhances its sealing capabilities, offering excellent chemical resistance and reduced friction.

What are the typical applications of this sealant?

It’s commonly used in plumbing systems, gas lines, air compression systems, and in various industrial applications where a secure, leak-proof seal on threaded pipe joints is necessary.

How do you apply this sealant?

Clean the threads of the pipes thoroughly. Apply the sealant evenly on the male threads, avoiding the first thread to prevent clogging. Then, assemble the joint as per the instructions provided, tightening quickly to avoid shimming. If required run a low pressure test to confirm a full seal has been made before the product is left to fully cure. For ultimate pressure and solvent resistant allow the material to fully cure prior to use.

Is this adhesive suitable for both hot and cold water systems?

Generally, PTFE-based pipe sealants are suitable for both hot and cold water systems.

How long does it take to cure?

The curing time can vary. It’s important to refer to the glue’s specific instructions for the curing time, which can range from a few hours to a full day for complete curing.

Is the sealant resistant to chemicals?

Yes, PTFE-based sealants have good chemical resistance.

Is it easy to remove or disassemble after application?

Disassembling parts sealed with PTFE adhesive can be challenging. The ease of removal depends on the application and the amount of time the sealant has set.
