How to Apply Gasket Tape – Quick Guide
-
Clean the surface thoroughly to remove dirt, oil, grease, and old adhesive residue.
-
Measure and cut the tape to the required length using scissors or a utility knife.
-
Peel off the protective liner from the adhesive side.
-
Apply the tape evenly, pressing firmly to ensure full contact and eliminate air bubbles.
-
Avoid stretching the tape during application to prevent distortion and ensure consistent thickness.
-
Allow the adhesive to set for 24 hours for maximum bond strength.
For non-adhesive tapes (e.g., braided graphite), secure with appropriate clamps or compression fixtures.
Frequently Asked Questions About Gasket Tape
What is the best gasket tape for high-temperature applications?
For high-temperature applications up to 500°C, graphite tape or braided graphite tape is recommended. For up to 260°C, expanded PTFE tape is an excellent choice with superior chemical resistance.
Can I buy gasket tape directly from a China manufacturer?
Yes – Kaxite Sealing is a trusted
China gasket tape supplier offering factory-direct pricing with no minimum order quantity for standard products.

What is the difference between expanded PTFE tape and PTFE thread seal tape?
Expanded PTFE tape is a soft, conformable gasket tape used for flange sealing and large irregular surfaces. PTFE thread seal tape (plumber's tape) is a thin film tape designed for threaded pipe connections. Both are PTFE-based but serve different purposes.
Can gasket tape be customized in size and color?
Absolutely. We offer custom thicknesses, widths, roll lengths, and colors. We also provide custom packaging and private labeling for OEM clients. Contact our China sales team with your specifications.
Is gasket tape waterproof and weatherproof?
Yes, most gasket tapes including silicone, EPDM, and EPTFE are waterproof and weather-resistant. They are ideal for outdoor and marine applications where moisture and UV exposure are concerns.
What certifications do your gasket tapes hold?
Our gasket tapes comply with ISO 9001:2015, FDA 21 CFR 177.1550 (for PTFE grades), RoHS, and REACH. We can provide material test certificates upon request.
