TS4

Performance LubricantsThread SealantProduct Information• Safe for use: TheChlorine Institute(Pamphlet 164) rates
Krytox™ lubricants a “1”.

Krytox™ TS4 thread
sealant, the solution for
demanding applications,is designed for use on
a variety of metal andplastic surfaces.
Key Benefits• Unlike PTFE tape, whichshould be removed
before re-application,
Krytox™ TS4 can bere-applied over existing
Krytox™ thread sealant.

Specially formulated for added
sealing power, Krytox™ TS4 seals
water, air, steam, natural gas, andreactive gases and liquid.

• Lubricates threads,
preventing costly thread
damage from galling andseizing during assembly.
Allows low breakaway
torque for easy-to-breakconnections.
Suggested Krytox™ TS4 Thread Sealant Application
Procedures• Cannot plug or restrict critical piping, valves, orinstruments like tape solids.

• Clean all pipe and fitting threads with a non-chlorinatedsolvent to remove cutting/protective oil and chasethreads with stiff wire brush to remove burrs, debris, andold sealant (PTFE tape, pipe dope, anaerobic resin, etc.).

• Krytox™ TS4 is non-reactive, non-toxic, nonflammable,non-corrosive and compatible with most seal, O-ring,and valve polymers.

• Check pipe and fittings against ASNI/ASME guideline
B.20.1-1983 to meet specifications for proper fit andengagement.

• No VOC content or hydrocarbon in the product; safe foroxygen use with no auto-ignition temperatures.

• Construct piping systems following all applicable ANSI/ASME codes.

• Cost-effective—only a small amount of sealant neededper application.

• Apply Krytox™ TS4 to fill the male threads evenly, up tothe recommended engagement length from the ANSI/ASME guideline. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.

• Clings to threads and will not shred or tear on
assembly/disassembly.

• Fast and easy to apply, even while wearing protectivegloves.
• Operating temperature range of –54–149 ºC(–65–300 ºF).
• Tested leak free under helium at 400 psi for 7 days.** Users should complete testing in their process and conditions to determine
suitability.

Note: Pressure fluctuations due to temperature change

Due to its small atomic size, helium passes easily throughleaks, and it is an industry standard for a tracer gas used
to find leaks.
Krytox™ TS4 is conveniently available in 0.5, 2, and 8 oz
tubes, 0.5 kg jars, and other size containers available uponrequest.
