Why Plastochem Plumber’s Tape

 

Choose Plastochem Plumber’s Tape for Reliable, Leak-Free Sealing

When it comes to building dependable piping systems, choosing the right tape is essential. With countless varieties of thread sealant tapes on the market today, it’s important to understand how each type can support your application. From pipe width to color codes to chemical compatibility, every detail matters — and Plastochem has you covered.



Why Plastochem Plumber’s Tape?

At Plastochem, we offer a complete range of plumber’s tapes engineered for performance, safety, and ease of use. Available in multiple colors, widths, thicknesses, and densities, our tapes help you achieve secure, leak-proof connections every time.

✔ Visual Safety & Identification

Our tapes come in distinct colors that serve as important visual indicators for what flows through your piping system. For example:

  • Yellow PTFE tape is typically mandated by local codes for assembling gas pipelines, ensuring clear identification and compliance.

  • White and gray PTFE tapes are widely used for general-purpose sealing and blend seamlessly with standard pipe colors, maintaining a clean, professional look.

✔ Versatile Width Options

Plastochem tapes are available in ½", ¾", and 1" widths, so you can match the tape precisely to your pipe diameter:

  • ½" width – Ideal for smaller pipes, providing neat coverage without waste.

  • ¾" and 1" widths – Perfect for larger pipes, offering ample coverage on the threads for a robust seal.

✔ Thickness & Density You Can Trust

  • Thickness (mil rating): A higher mil tape means fewer wraps are needed to create a watertight or airtight seal, saving time while enhancing reliability.

  • Density: Our high-density PTFE tapes minimize stretching during application. This prevents over-compaction into the threads, reducing the risk of leaks and ensuring a long-lasting fit.

Our Most Popular Solution: Plastochem General-Purpose PTFE Tape

When versatility matters, our general-purpose PTFE tape is the go-to choice for professionals. This high-performance tape is suitable for all threaded pipes, valves, and fittings carrying:

✅ Hot and cold water

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can Plastochem PTFE tape be used on gas lines?
A: Absolutely. Our yellow PTFE tape is specifically designed for gas applications and meets most municipal requirements.

Q: How many wraps do I need?
A: That depends on the tape thickness and pipe size. With our higher mil tapes, you’ll often need fewer wraps to achieve a perfect seal — typically around 3-4 wraps for most general plumbing.
