Kaxite Expanded PTFE Joint Sealant Tape is a Form-In-Place gasket material made from 100% expanded PTFE with a self-adhesive strip on one face. Because the material is 100% pure PTFE with no fillers and no binders, it has the same chemical inertness as pure virgin PTFE — inert across pH 0–14 to almost all industrial fluids, with a service temperature range of −240 °C to +260 °C continuous. The tape conforms to rough, pitted, scratched and damaged flange faces, as well as glass-lined, enamel and irregular sealing surfaces, that a pre-cut gasket cannot bridge. The peel-off backing holds the tape in position on both horizontal and vertical flanges; the two ends cross to form a complete sealing ring in place. The material has unlimited shelf life, shows no age deterioration, and resists creep and cold flow. Supplied as rolls and spools; custom width and thickness on request. Samples are available for evaluation before bulk orders.
Expanded PTFE Joint Sealant Tape — Self-Adhesive Gasket for Damaged and Irregular Flange Faces
Kaxite Expanded PTFE Joint Sealant Tape is a 100% expanded PTFE gasket material with a
self-adhesive strip on one face. It is applied as a Form-In-Place gasket: peel off the
backing, press the tape onto the sealing face, and cross the two ends. The tape becomes a
sealing gasket exactly where it is needed.
The material conforms to rough, pitted, scratched and damaged flange surfaces — as well as
glass-lined, enamel and unusual geometry — that a pre-cut gasket cannot bridge. It is made
without fillers or binders, so it has the same chemical inertness as pure virgin PTFE, and
it resists creep and cold flow over long service periods.

SEC-01Description & constructionWhat the tape is and how it seals
Expanded PTFE Joint Sealant Tape is a 100% expanded PTFE gasket material combined with a
self-adhesive strip on one face. It can be used as a jointing on all types of flanges and is
compatible with almost all fluids because of its excellent corrosion resistance and high
pressure resistance. The material is soft, stretched and easy to use — the tape is stuck
onto the sealing face with the adhesive side, then the two ends are crossed together to
form a complete sealing ring. This is why it is the ideal sealing material for enamel,
glass-lined, rough and specially shaped sealing surfaces.
The braided-fibril structure of the expanded PTFE is what gives the tape its conformability.
Under bolt load the tape compresses into the pits and scratches of the flange face and stays
there, sealing where a rigid gasket would leak. The self-adhesive backing holds the tape in
position during assembly on both horizontal and vertical flanges without clamps or
additional adhesive.
SEC-02Prime featuresFour points buyers evaluate before ordering
F-01
Form-In-Place sealing
Conforms to any surface — including rough, pitted, scratched and damaged flange faces — because the material is shaped in position and compressed under bolt load.
F-02
Flexible installation
Installs on round, oval, rectangular and complex surfaces. The self-adhesive backing holds the tape on both horizontal and vertical flanges without clamps.
F-03
Chemically inert
Made without fillers or binders — exhibits the same chemical inertness as pure virgin PTFE. Inert across pH 0–14 to almost all industrial fluids.
F-04
Adhesive-backed
Convenient adhesive strip and peel-off backing make installation easy in any orientation. Also has unlimited shelf life, no age deterioration and resists creep and cold flow.

SEC-04Installation & how to orderFrom flange prep to bolt-up
01
Clean flange face
Remove old gasket residue, oil and loose scale so the adhesive can bond. No primer required.
02
Apply the tape
Peel off the backing and press the tape onto the sealing face along the bolt circle or flange contour.
03
Cross the ends
Bring the two ends together and overlap them — the joint area densifies under bolt load.
04
Bolt up
Assemble the flange and torque bolts in a cross pattern. Tape compresses into the flange pits to form the seal.
SEC-05Buyer questionsCommon questions answered
How is Expanded PTFE Joint Sealant Tape different from standard PTFE thread seal tape?
Joint Sealant Tape is a flange gasket material — it is thick, self-adhesive on one face
and forms a sealing ring in position on the flange face. Standard PTFE thread seal tape
(plumber's tape) is a thin non-adhesive tape wound around pipe threads for threaded
connections. The two products are used in different locations and are not
interchangeable.
Can it be used on vertical or overhead flanges?
Yes. The self-adhesive backing holds the tape in position without clamps or additional
adhesive, so it can be applied to horizontal flanges, vertical flanges and overhead
sealing surfaces. On very smooth surfaces, apply light pressure along the tape after
peeling the backing to improve initial tack.
What temperature and chemical range does the tape cover?
The material is 100% expanded PTFE and operates from −240 °C to +260 °C
continuous, with a chemical resistance range of pH 0–14. Because the tape is
made without fillers or binders, its chemical inertness matches pure virgin PTFE. For
specific media such as molten alkali metals or elemental fluorine at high temperature,
please send the operating conditions and we will confirm suitability.
What widths and thicknesses are available?
Standard widths and thicknesses are quoted per inquiry and matched to the flange width
and bolt-load requirement. Non-standard cross-sections can be produced on request. If
you send the flange size, bolt circle, operating pressure and temperature, we will
recommend the correct tape cross-section.
Do you provide material certificates and samples?
Yes. Material certificates, dimensional inspection reports and grade documentation are
available for production orders. Samples are available for evaluation — please provide
the cross-section size and application conditions, and we will confirm availability and
delivery time.
