Finding the right thread sealant for<br />

the application<br />

1. What are the benefits of using thread sealants?<br />

Thread sealants provide tight seals between joints, can<br />

withstand immense pressures, allow for easier assembly<br />

and disassembly, prevent corrosion, and prevent parts<br />

from “welding” to one another.<br />

2. Which sealants have potable water approvals?<br />

The following Loctite® thread sealants all have a NSF 61<br />

potable water approval rating: Loctite® QuickStix<br />

561 PST®, 55 Pipe Sealing Cord, 564, 565 PST®,<br />

and 567 PST®.<br />

3. What is galling?<br />

Galling occurs when metals weld together due to lack<br />

of or ineffective lubrication during assembly. Without<br />

proper lubrication, mating surfaces wear against each<br />

other and result in “welding” or seizure. Sealants<br />

containing PTFE increase lubricity, reduce galling, and<br />

enable easier assembly and disassembly.<br />

4. Are there any thread sealants available that are compatible<br />

with systems in oxygen rich environments?<br />

Loctite® Thread Seal Tape with PTFE is the only thread<br />

sealing product that is compatible with systems in<br />

oxygen rich environments.<br />

5. Why is the “squeeze out” material around the joint not cured?<br />

In order for anaerobic material to cure, there has to be<br />

two mating metal surfaces. Any excess material that<br />

squeezes from the assembly can simply be wiped away.<br />
