Weicon PTFE Thread Sealing cord DF175 (175mtrs) for Metal and Plastic Threads

Weicon DF 175 is a patented thread sealing cord made of 100%PTFE that seals almost all metal and plastic threads permanently and safely. WEICON DF 175 reliably compensates the intermediate space on the threads and creates a PTFE film in the required thickness during the screwing procedure. This film is extremely resistant to almost all chemicals, even the most aggressive solvents, caustic agents, and acids.

Weicon DF 175 is non-flammable and operates reliably in a temperature range from -200°C (-328°F) to +240°C (+464°F).

In contrast to other sealing materials, for which the fabric solely acts as a base for the actual sealant, Weicon DF 175 itself is the sealing material. A separation of the base material and the sealing material over the service life of the screw connection is thus excluded.

Weicon DF 175 is very economical: 1 roll replaces up to 20 rolls of PTFE tape (12 mm x 0,1 mm x 12 m)

Surface pre-treatment
Best results will be achieved on cleaned, degreased parts (use WEICON Surface Cleaner).

Processing
Wind up the sealing cord from the beginning of the pipe in direction of the thread, overlapping randomly. Make sure that enough material has been applied at the beginning of the pipe.

Apply 2-3 drops of the lubricant (in the removable bottom) on the sealing thread and spread it with the fingers on the sealed area. The lubricant is harmless and biodegradable (do not use lubricant in combination with liquid oxygen).

Observe the Following Guideline:
1/2" - 12 (fine thread) to 18 (coarse thread) windings
11/2"- 16 (fine thread) to 24 (coarse thread) windings
The number of windings must be accordingly adapted to the diameter of the pipe.
