Unasco Nickel Anti-Seize Tape: 1/2 in. x 50 ft. (Nickel) [10-pack] ATN001

Product Highlights

• PREVENTS GALLING AND SEIZING: Nickel flakes in PTFE act as bearing plates between mating threads so stainless steel parts assemble and disassemble easily
• CLEAN ALTERNATIVE TO COMPOUNDS: Replaces messy anti-seize paste with a clean wrap that produces no waste and will not rub, scuff or squeegee off; also helps keep parts from vibrating loose
• WIDE TEMPERATURE RANGE: Thermally stable from -450 to +500 degrees F and resists alkalis, chemical and acid vapors, road salt, steam and salt water
• FOR STAINLESS AND MORE: Designed for stainless steel and also works on steel, iron, brass, copper, aluminum, titanium and magnesium; not for oxygen lines
• SPECIFICATIONS: Material: nickel-filled PTFE; Color: silver; Thickness: 0.0045 in. (0.115 mm); Density: 1.5 g/cm3; Elongation: 50%; Tensile: 10 to 12 N/mm2; Temperature: -450 to +500 degrees F

Unasco Nickel Anti-Seize Tape is a nickel-filled PTFE tape that makes stainless steel threaded parts easy to assemble and easy to take apart later. It replaces messy anti-seize compounds with a clean wrap that produces no waste and will not rub, scuff or squeegee off. The PTFE resin provides lubricity, while the nickel flakes act as bearing plates between the mating threads to help prevent galling and seizing, and the tape helps keep components from vibrating loose.

The tape is thermally stable from -450 to +500 degrees F and resists strong alkaline solutions, most chemical and acid vapors, road salt, steam, salt water and iodized water. Designed for stainless steel, it can also be used on steel, iron, brass, copper, aluminum, titanium and magnesium. It is non-flammable. Do not use on lines carrying oxygen. The applied tape adds about 0.018 in. to the thread diameter, so check thread tolerances.

Application Instructions

1. Choose 1/2 in. (12 mm) tape for components up to 1-1/2 in. (38 mm) in diameter, and 3/4 in. (19 mm) tape for larger components.
2. Clean both the male and female threads thoroughly.
3. Wrap the tape around the male thread, keeping it under tension so it molds itself into the root of the thread.
4. Wrap in the same direction as the thread.
5. Overlap the tape 50% on each wrap.
6. Cover the entire threaded section.
