Rectorseal 23423 Ptfe Pipe Thread Sealant Non-hardening

Product Description

The RECTORSEAL 23423 is a PTFE-enriched, non-hardening pipe thread sealant formulated for use on plastic and metal pipe systems across plumbing, HVAC, and industrial applications. It lubricates pipe threads during assembly and seals against leaks without hardening over time, making future disassembly practical. The flexible set formula stays pliable after cure, reducing the risk of cracking under vibration or thermal cycling. It is lead-free and contains no metal additives. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians reach for this product on new installs and retrofit work alike.

This thread sealant is suited for residential and commercial piping systems where a wide range of pipe materials are in use. It performs on iron, galvanized steel, stainless steel, brass, copper, and aluminum pipe, as well as plastic pipe including polyethylene, reinforced fiberglass, PVC, ABS, and CPVC including FlowGuard Gold. It is appropriate for plumbing supply lines, gas piping where listed, HVAC refrigerant line accessories, and industrial process piping where threaded connections require a reliable seal.
