TEF-GEL™ APPLICATION GUIDELINES
Tef-Gel™ can be used for multiple applications.
Before application, all surfaces, must be free from any previous corrosion, dust, dirt and any other chemical contaminates. If necessary, prepare all surfaces with Mineral Spirits, (Mineral Turpentine).
Tef-Gel™ must be applied liberally to all surfaces prior to assembly including threaded fasteners and flat surfaces of hardware including washers. Failure to adequately apply Tef-Gel™ will result in a reduction in protection.
When assembled hardware and fastenings are finally tightened, there needs to be a visible bead of Tef-Gel™ splayed evenly around the head of the fastener and or the hardware.
Any excess Tef-Gel™ can be removed with Mineral Spirits, (Mineral Turpentine) to leave an airtight barrier of protection. Ensure clean up products are used within the guidelines of the product suppliers and the respective Material Safety Data Sheets.
The application guidelines are to be used in conjunction with the product Material Safety Data Sheet and application information printed on the product label.
Tef-Gel™ should only be used in applications within the temperature range of -60ºC to 280ºC.
WHY TEF-GEL™ WORKS
Tef-Gel™ is an extremely high viscosity Teflon® based gel.
It is impervious to salt water, fresh water, UV or detergents.
It contains no petrochemicals or oils so it does not change viscosity or dry out and crack.
Tef-Gel™ can be used to stop corrosion between ALL dissimilar metals. In order for dissimilar metal corrosion to occur a galvanic cell needs to occur in the voids between the metals. Applying Tef-Gel™ fills the voids and creates a barrier which no longer allows the galvanic cell to form.
Tef-Gel™ prevents galling of stainless steel, when applied to fastenings by preventing the high friction forming between the threads of the nuts and the bolts.
Tef-Gel™ can be used as an assembly lubricant to allow for ease of maintenance and is an excellent anti-seize because it doesn’t dry out or crack and can be used in applications within the temperature range of -60ºC to 280ºC.
Tef-Gel™ protects electrical connections from corrosion by creating an air tight barrier that will not allow moisture to be drawn in to the connection thus creating corrosion. Its unique properties will not impede current.
VARIOUS APPLICATIONS
Tef-Gel™ is an extremely versatile product.
Its many applications are not limited to just commercial or industrial uses.
