Original Press Release:
TFE Pipe Tread Sealant: Standard for the Industry and Mainstay for the Company
Anti-Seize Technology (AST) produces the Cadillac® of Pipe Thread Sealants with more 100% virgin PTFE than similar products on the market.
Franklin Park, Illinois- As the most widely used Pipe Thread Sealant on the market,
Anti-Seize Technology's TFE Pipe Thread Sealant out performs the competition on the
job creating similar performance results in sales. Simply stated, AST has developed
TFE, a superior Pipe Thread Sealant that contains more 100% virgin PTFE giving
the product a clear advantage over the competition.
AST President John H. Heydt talks about TFE. "In the Chemical Industry everyone uses
the phrase, 'Our product is the best,' but when a product really is the best the impact of that statement gets lost. We make the claim and then we back it up with the reasons why."
Pipe Thread Sealants with PTFE are rated first on the amount of PTFE in the mixture.
The more PTFE included, the more lubricating and sealing performance you'll get from
the product. AST's TFE Pipe Thread Sealant has a special formula along with the
most 100% virgin PTFE and thus the product rates very high with users. But that
advantage goes further than additional lubrication and sealing. Additional PTFE offers
prevention against corrosion, seizing, and galling. These are all key benefits to
plumbers, pipe fitters, and others who work with piping. TFE is FDA and NSF
authorized, UL Classified along with having UL approval for Fire Protection
Glycol sprinkler systems.
AST products serve many industries and cover a wide range of uses. In addition to
thread sealants, other product lines include anti-seize compounds, threadlockers,
lubricants, penetrants, protectants, instant-gasket products, and cleaners/degreasers.
