DESCRIPTION
• High density, high quality pipe joint tape for sealing threaded pipe,
valves, fittings, accessories and controls. Tape Dope securely seals all
threaded piping including steel, galvanized and black iron, brass, copper,
aluminum, stainless steel, glass, Monel, synthetic rubber, and all plastics.
• Does not shred; requires fewer wraps than cheaper inferior tapes. Tape
Dope is self-lubricating and its excellent dielectric properties minimize
galvanic action. Will not harden, crack, or crumble. Joints can be
disassembled with ease after years of use.
• Chemically inert, it is ideal for lines carrying water, steam, oils and gases
as well as acids, corrosive chemicals, refrigerants, fuels and solvents.
Will not contaminate material carried in pipes. Protects against any
corrosive action of chemicals. Tape Dope is a compressible solid and is
not affected by weather.
• Tape Dope can be used for repairs, original equipment, and maintenance
of any threading application.
APPROVALS & LISTINGS
• This product is not classified as hazardous in accordance with
OSHA 1910. 1200.
