High-strength pipe thread seal
A recurring problem, how can I make threads for filling systems gas-tight under pressure? In the past, hemp and oil paint or lead pastes were used for this purpose. Today, synthetic pastes are used which harden on contact with metal and in the absence of oxygen. We offer a versatile product for easy and safe sealing of pneumatic and hydraulic screw connections, also suitable for stainless steel. Especially suitable for sealing conical / cylindrical pipe fittings with Whitworth thread.
