Teflon\u00ae) tape, and anaerobic sealants. Anaerobic sealants are often chosen due to the limitations of dope and tape. Pipe dope is inexpensive and easy to use; however, it is solvent-based, which means it shrinks, hardens, and can crack over time. Vibration in the pipes can hasten the leaks. PTFE tape, often called Teflon tape, is easy to store and use. It is called tape, but it is not sticky. The PTFE lubricates to ease assembly. Tape fills the space between the threads but doesn&#8217;t adhere. Any readjustment can cause the tape to shred, creating leaks or allowing pieces of tape to enter the fluid, causing blocked valves, filters, and screens.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Anaerobic thread sealants are 100% solids, so they do not shrink or crack like pipe dope. They cure to form a solid seal that resists vibration loosening. They can contain PTFE to lubricate and ease assembly.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1584\" src=\"https:\/\/permabond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/LH050.jpg\" alt=\"pipe sealants\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3>Here is a short list of benefits of anaerobic sealants:<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>No loose particles to clog values<\/li>\r\n<li>Will not shred, creep, or relax over time<\/li>\r\n<li>Will not shrink or crack<\/li>\r\n<li>Prevent vibration loosening<\/li>\r\n<li>Fully cured sealants typically seal to the burst pressure of the pipe<\/li>\r\n<li>Resistant to many chemicals<\/li>\r\n<li>Grades available for water, gas, air, and hydraulic systems<\/li>\r\n<li>Allow for directional freedom of the pipe<\/li>\r\n<li>Prevent corrosion<\/li>\r\n<li>Seals cut and mis-threaded fittings<\/li>\r\n<li>Lubricates to ease assembly<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>Which anaerobic thread sealant is best for the application?<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The following table provides a description of several grades of Permabond thread sealants.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\r\n<table>\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><strong>Grade<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td><strong>Description<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td><strong>Availability<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/permabond.com\/tds\/lm012_tds-en\/?pdf=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LM012<\/a><\/td>\r\n<td>Hydraulics Sealing Grade, <br \/>MIL-S-22473E Grade HVV ASTM D5363<\/td>\r\n<td>Americas &amp; Asia<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/permabond.com\/tds\/lh050_tds-en\/?pdf=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LH050<\/a><\/td>\r\n<td>General Purpose, UL Classified<\/td>\r\n<td>Americas &amp; Asia<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/permabond.com\/tds\/lh050pure_tds-en\/?pdf=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LH050 PURE<\/a><\/td>\r\n<td>NSF\/ANSI 61 Certified, Potable Water Grade<\/td>\r\n<td>Americas &amp; Asia<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/permabond.com\/tds\/lh056_tds-en\/?pdf=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LH056<\/a><\/td>\r\n<td>Fire Protection Grade<\/td>\r\n<td>Americas &amp; Asia<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/permabond.com\/tds\/lh150_tds-en\/?pdf=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LH150<\/a><\/td>\r\n<td>Stainless Steel Grade, UL Classified<\/td>\r\n<td>Americas &amp; Asia<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/permabond.com\/tds\/lh150_tds-en\/?pdf=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MH052<\/a><\/td>\r\n<td>Medium Strength, BAM Approved for Oxygen<\/td>\r\n<td>Worldwide<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/permabond.com\/tds\/a1044_tds-en\/?pdf=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">A1044<\/a><\/td>\r\n<td>High Strength<\/td>\r\n<td>Europe, Middle East, Australia<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/permabond.com\/tds\/a131_tds-en\/?pdf=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">A131<\/a><\/td>\r\n<td>Low Strength<\/td>\r\n<td>Europe, Middle East, Australia<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/permabond.com\/tds\/a129_tds-en\/?pdf=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">A129<\/a><\/td>\r\n<td>Medium Strength<\/td>\r\n<td>Europe, Middle East, Australia<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>When not to use an anaerobic pipe sealant?<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Anaerobic pipe sealants are only for use on metal pipe.
