Therefore, they are very effective on locking applications. No cure time is required. The preapplies film provides instant sealing for NPT threads up to 4 inches in diameter immediately upon installation. Mechanically, the dry film generates prevailing torque characteristics -approximately 75 inch lbs.
Corrosion is inhibited between mating threads.
The threads are safely sealed from contact with the atmosphere by the coating. The preapplied coating eliminates liquid and paste migration problems and concerns during installation. Precoated fittings can be stored for immediate delivery at assembly. The preapplied coating is tough, resilient and will resist shredding and peeling during assembly. Precoated parts have a shelf life of several years.
