Applications
Seal small diameter
Close tolerance threaded pipe joints in critical service
Directions for Use
Thoroughly clean threaded surfaces prior to application.
Knead tube well (for best results, remove cap, squeeze out air, place cap back on tightly, then knead well).
Apply paste evenly and fill threads completely. Carefully assemble and tighten the threaded joint.
Close cap tightly after use.
Joint is ready for immediate use.
GTS® paste can be certified to meet many nuclear specifications because of its purity and thermal stability. Supplied in a form that permits easy application, GTS® paste is an ideal replacement for Teflon® thread sealant tape and other conventional thread sealant materials in critical high temperature and high-pressure service applications.
Each lot of GTS® paste is packaged in 125 gm nuclear grade polyethylene “squeezable” tubes to protect against contamination.
The purity level of GTS® paste allows it to meet the stringent certification requirements of the nuclear power generation industry such as the General Electric nonmetallic material specification D50YP12 Rev 2.
GTS® paste can also be used as an effective bolt lubricant or anti-seize compound, having outperformed conventional lubricants under tests. Because GTS® paste does not harden or cure with time or temperature, joints sealed with GTS® paste will be easy to dissemble even after years of high-temperature service.
