We asked plumbers if they needed or wanted a new thread sealant, and they emphatically answered, "No." Yet, since we gave them megaloc, their response has been overwhelming. The latest generation in our line of already outstanding thread sealants, megaloc is the highest performing thread sealant on the market, and not only wipes clean from hands and tools with  just a dry rag, but washes out of clothes too! For use on both plastic and metal pipe and fittings. Grit-free and does not contain PTFE. Sets soft; no cure time required; never hardens, cracks or becomes brittle. No odor. Non-separating, non-flammable, and non-hazardous. Leak-proof hydraulic resistance to 12,000 psi. Withstands gas pressure to 2,600 psi. Performs over a temperature range of -50ºto 400ºF (on steel pipe). For use on all metals, including galvanized steel, black iron, aluminum, copper, brass, stainless steel, and on PVC, ABS, and CPVC plastics (for use on specific brands of CPVC pipe, verify suitability with pipe manufacturer). Not recommended for lines carrying concentrated acids, alkalis, ketones and oxygen. Certified to ANSI/NSF Standard 61; safe for drinking water lines. UPC listed. Meets CSA requirements 4-90 for gas. Meets Fed. Spec. TT-S-1732. Blue.
