Silicon Sealing Tape

Silicon Sealing Tape

Facot Chemicals S.r.l.

Description

Silicon Sealing Tape is a rot-proof and thermally stabilized synthetic fiber tape, impregnated with a particular non-hardening mastic. The function of the tape is to seal threaded hydraulic fittings of any diameter and material, both with common gases (steam, methane, LPG), as well as with drinking water, heating and solar panels. In fact, it does not alter the smell, taste and purity of the water.
* It is a dynamic sealant as it adapts to all threads and any material, also compensating for wide play between male and female. Suitable for conical and parallel threads. Not suitable in case of contact with strongly oxidizing substances

BENEFITS:
Silicon Sealing Tape is clean and leaves no traces on the hands, it is economical, quick and
easy to apply. It allows the repositioning of the fittings and disassembly after years, preserving the
threads from corrosion. Withstands the typical vibrations of joints, in the vicinity of pumps and
compressors

COMPLIANCE:
Silicon Sealing Tape complies with the technical specifications according to UNI EN 751/2 Cl.
ARp, and is WRAS BS 6920 certified for drinking water, food liquids, DVGW EN 751-2 and TÜV
PROFICERT Product (consumer protection certification).
APPLICATIONS WITH GAS:
• Up to pressures of 5 Bar from -20 ° C to +70 ° C *.
APPLICATIONS WITH WATER:
• Up to pressures of 16 Bar at 95 °C.
• Up to pressures of 7 Bar at 130 °C *.
• Dimensional stability: 170 °C
* Data referred to the standard UNI EN 751/2 Cl. ARp

METHOD OF USE:
Apply normally as a common sealing tape on the thread, putting the slightly adhesive green part of
the tape in contact with the thread, exerting a certain tension, preferably starting from the beginning of the thread in the direction of the thread and returning towards the beginning for better aesthetics after covering the entire thread (see drawing 1).
In most cases it is not necessary to roughen or dent the thread, except on particularly smooth materials such as brass, stainless steel or chromed fittings. In any case, use according to the experience gained.
It can be torn simply by pulling it without the need to cut it. Allows repositioning of the fitting. Once the fitting has been loosened, within certain limits it can be tightened again. Do not exceed in quantity as a portion of the tape may be ejected

Four-X One Shot

It is a unique concentrated product with 4 functions. It has a disintegrating action for sludge and slurries and also exerts a protective antiscale action in the presence of hard water, providing anticorrosive protection toward all constituent metals in systems, particularly aluminum and its alloys. It is also formulated with a powerful broad-spectrum biocide that can inhibit algal growth in low-temperature systems (e.g., radiant floors). The overall action is sanitizing and does not need to be flushed when used properly in conjunction with appropriate MAGNEX series magnetic defangment filter.

EFFECTIVENESS:
1. Restorative: breaks down and disperses any type of fouling present in thermal and refrigerant circuits, whether inorganic (rust, limestone, magnetite, machining residues, etc.) or organic (algae, biofilm, bacteria, etc.) in nature.
2. Antiscalant: the sequestering active ingredients in the formulation make it possible to keep calcium and magnesium salts dissolved in water in dispersion, thus preventing the precipitation of lime scale within the circuit as well as guaranteeing over time the correct heat exchange capacity of the system, preserving the system itself from possible occlusions and keeping consumption to a minimum.
3. Anticorrosive: the presence of a broad package of inhibitors formulated on the basis of azoles and molybdates allows the product to exert a prolonged anticorrosive action (even years after loading) toward all metals constituting the systems, particularly toward amphoteric metals such as aluminum and light alloys (aluminum-silicon).
4. Antibacterial: the broad-spectrum biocide present in the formulation, in addition to performing a preservative function of the product itself, makes it possible to preserve circuits running at low temperatures (30 ÷ 40 °C e.g., radiant floors, geothermal and refrigerants), from algal/bacterial proliferation resulting in algae stratification therefore cold areas in the house as well as higher energy consumption.

METHOD OF USE:
The product is recommended on medium-lived, even dated, but NOT compromised systems, in conjunction with a magnetic filter-deflector to be installed on the return to the boiler. Load directly from the filter, or via Disiflux sanitizing pump or an easy entry point of the system, at the rate of 0.5 %, i.e. 1 liter for every 200 liters of liquid circulating in the system. Periodic cleaning of the sludge-magnetic filter will be necessary and will depend on the amount of sludge in the circuit. Indicatively, a filter cleaning is recommended a few days after the product has been placed in the circuit, then 10 to 15 days apart, and then after more 30 gg repeating the operation for a few months. The amount of sequestered sludge as well as the turbidity of the water itself will tend to improve gradually after each inspection. Please consult Facot Chemicals Technical Department for more information and follow the requirements of UNI 8065:2019 for subsequent controls.

Paratex

Corrosion proofing insulating bands for the protection of underground and aerial mains or pipes.
Paraffinic, dielectric with a polyethylene film on one side.

APPLICATIONS:
To be used whenever pipes have to be protected by corrosion due to atmospheric, chemical,
environmental agents. Suitable also for the protection from stray currents of metal surfaces, for the
outer binding of tanks, underground, aerial and underwater mains or pipes. The band represents an
excellent steam barrier and thanks to its chemical inertia it is a good protection from the above
mentioned agents, too.
Paratex band has a quite total application versatily since it can be used in those points impossible
to reach, as for example curves, valves etc.

COMPOSITION:
Synthetic fibre fabric, that can not be altered by soil chemical, bacteriologic and mycotic agents;
it is impregnated with a corrosion proofing paste based on paraffinic hydrocarbons specially
treated and charged.

CHARACTERISTICS:
Once it has been applied, it keeps its plasticity and inalterability. It is waterproof (saline water too),
gasproof and it can be used at a temperature ranging from -50 °C to +50 °C.

COMPATIBILITY OF MATERIALS:
Paratex tape, thanks to its composition based on paraffin hydrocarbons is chemically inert and
therefore compatible with all materials used in buildings of all types including metal and plastic
polymers like PE, PP, PES, PVC, ABS, PU.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:
Wind up the band overlapping 10/15 mm two following turns, then wear a glove for cold levelling
off, to obtain an homogeneous and flat surface. On rusted or irregular surfaces it is recommended
an accurate cleaning with a hard brush.
