Pipe dopes and thread tapes are one way to attempt to seal fittings and pipe threads. It's not the best way -

Pipe joints are dynamic: they experience vibration, changing pressures and changing temperatures, all of which put stress on threads and lead to leakage and expensive repairs. Easy to apply Loctite Thread Sealants instantly provide a durable seal between close fitting threads to prevent the costly leakage of gas and liquids, while stopping corrosion and eliminating the problems caused when pipe dopes and tapes shrink and break down over time.

Loctite Thread Sealants: a Better Way!

Better because they are easy to apply and cure instantly to fill the space between threaded metal parts and assure 100% sealing preventing any leakage.

Better because they can prevent corrosion and elimiinate seized assemblies that cause excessive frustration, cost time, and can be dangerous and costly to repair.

Better because they are available in a variety of controlled strengths, are solvent free and will not shrink or crack like solvent based pipe dopes.

How Loctite® Thread Sealants Work -

Thread sealants prevent leakage of gases and liquids from pipe joints. All such joints are considered to be dynamic due to vibration, changing pressures or changing temperatures. Thread sealing is achieved as the anaerobic compound cures when confined in the absence of air, and between close metal fitting surfaces.

Benefits of Loctite® Thread Sealants -

• Prevents leaks
• Single component - quick and easy to apply
• Can be used on any size pipe fitting and seals to the burst strength of most piping systems
• Prevents corrosion and galling in threads
• Seals and secures metal pipes and fittings, filling the space between threaded metal parts and hardening to prevent leakage
• Designed for high and low pressure applications

Protect Against Corrosion While Preventing Contamination

Loctite Thread Sealants are the Better Way.  Better because they seal the threads against moisture, preventing rust and protecting against corrosion and galling. And they cure to a solid thermoset plastic and will not shrink or break-down possibly entering into the sensitive system they are sealing.

Available in a variety of controlled strengths, Loctite thread sealants are solvent free.

Typical Applications for Loctite® Thread Sealants -

Typical applications for Loctite thread sealants include sealing metal tapered pipe threads and fittings in the chemical processing, petroleum refining, pulp/paper, waste treatment, textile, utilities / power generation, marine, automotive, gas compression and distribution industries. Thread sealers are also recommended for industrial plant, fluid power systems.
