PTFE Thread Seal Tape: Paste-Extruded, Calendered, Never Sintered
The white tape wound on pipe threads is PTFE that has never been melted. Fine PTFE powder is mixed with a lubricant, pressed into a slug, squeezed through a slit die by a ram, rolled thin between two rolls, and dried. Kept below the sintering heat (about 350 °C) it stays soft and conforms to the thread (process: US 5,415,939, 1995). The targets and tests are those of the Indian standard IS 14643 (from BS 4375): no fillers, at most 0.1 % lubricant left, usually 12 mm wide and 0.075 mm thick.
The lubricant (naphtha) and the slitter are ours. The picture: Fig. 1a of the patent.

1
Wet the powder
Wet the powder
Mix fine (dispersion-made) virgin PTFE powder with a lubricant that can be driven off completely. Granular PTFE will not paste-extrude. No fillers. Ours: naphtha, as required.

5
Dry off the lubricant
Dry off the lubricant
Dry the tape until the lubricant is gone. Keep it well below the sintering heat (about 350 °C): sintered tape is stiff and will not seal.

Check the tape
Check the tape
It must look white, with no visible specks or torn edges. Measure the thickness at five points along a sample; each must be within 10 % of their mean.

Test the residual lubricant
Test the residual lubricant
Weigh about 15 g of tape. Extract it in a Soxhlet with petroleum spirit (40-60 °C) for at least 4 h, dry it at 100 °C, then heat it at 300 °C for 6 h, cool and weigh. The loss must be 0.1 % or less.

Wrap a thread
Wrap a thread
Wind tape round an R 1/2 taper pipe thread with 50 % overlap, two layers deep, just tight enough to take the thread form. It must hold the form, not break, and its end must stay put.
