What Is Special About Our Thread Sealing Tape?
Thread sealing tape, also known as PTFE, Teflon or plumbers tape is commonly used in threaded piping applications to seal pipe threads and stop them seizing. Thread tape works as a filler, filling the space between the threads and creating a tight seal which helps to prevent leaks and seizing.
We are the sole New Zealand stockist for Blue Monster & Mill-rose thread tapes and stock three different types of their thread tape; Blue Monster PTFE, Blue Monster Gas Guard and Mill-Rose Nickel Anti-seize PTFE tape.
Blue Monster PTFE Thread Seal Tape is a thicker, denser, general-purpose thread seal tape that comes in a monstrous 36 metre roll. Fewer wraps are necessary to create a leak-proof seal and it applies easily. No waste and no re-taping makes sealing joints a breeze. We stock Blue Monster PTFE Thread Seal Tape in ½”, ¾” and 1” wide to suit the fittings you are using. This thread tape is suitable for use with most materials and fittings, except on oxygen lines.
The Blue Monster Gas Guard is a PTFE thread sealing tape designed specifically for gas lines. This is a maximum-density thread sealing tape and is used by the gas industry world-wide. It’s coloured yellow so fitters and inspectors can easily recognize it as a suitable tape. This is ideally suited for gas, propane and butane lines.
Mill-Rose Nickel Guard Anti-Seize Thread Sealing Tape is a unique thread sealing tape which prevents stainless steel fittings from galling or seizing during assembly and disassembly. The tape is impregnated with nickel powder which acts like bearing plates, keeping the surface of the male and female threads apart. Further protection is provided with the thicker and denser than average composition of the tape. This added thickness and density also ensure an effective seal. This tape is the best for use with Stainless Steel Fittings.
Both Gas Guard and Nickel Guard tapes are available in ½” and ¾” wide tapes.
A unique feature across the Blue Monster Thread Tape range is the 100% elongation, which means it can be safely stretched up to double its width to cover the whole thread and stretches into the thread gaps to ensure a tight, even seal.
