Tikal Tef-Gel - Anti Corrosion Gel - 10ml Tube & Brush

Product Information

Whether you go to sea for work or play, protecting your floating investment from saltwater’s destructive force is critical. We recommend using PTFE based ULTRA Tef-Gel everywhere saltwater touches joining metals. ULTRA Tef-Gel is ideal for aluminum boats Tef-Gel, which contains 0% volatile solvents, will no evaporate, cold flow, or dry out, giving protection many years later when hardware must be dissembled. 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). Bottom line: PTFE synthetics have rightfully earned high marks for their anti-seize protection. Best Buy. Conclusion 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.

Bedding surfaces: A closely mating surface (10 mils .010 or closer) can be protected from capillary action by applying a thin coat of Tef -Gel ™ with brush, toothbrush, or plastic scraper and assembling the parts and cleaning excess product with mineral spirits or WD-40. Use mascara brush, bottle brush, or toothbrush to apply a thin coat of Tef-Gel to both the threaded hole and the bolt threads and tighten. (Torque requirements may have to be altered according to application of thread lubricants). Tef -Gel ™ paste contains 40% PTFE powder and 0% volatile solvents, no silicone's or petroleum solvents to evaporate, which would leave voids for electrolytes to be drawn into creating a galvanic cell. When both surfaces are coated and mated with Tef -Gel ™ there are no voids for electrolytes (saltwater) to be drawn in by capillary action over extended periods of time. Tef Gel is a PTFE based waterproof lubricant with anti-corrosion and anti-seize properties. Tef Gel does not break down in salt water or detergents. Here at Eclectic, we use the highest quality marine grade material throughout, and moving parts are fitted with low-friction bearing bushes.

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.Tef-Gel applied to both mating surfaces of nuts and bolts or threaded holes and bolts leaves a layer of 40% solid PTFE within the thread interface, which works as friction barrier. We reserve the right to change these conditions for exceptionally large or heavy items or items of a hazardous nature. We will keep you posted of any changes to the best of our ability. This project should be framed as a comparison between examples from each of the two categories of greases-organic vs. synthetic. It is not a strict head-to-head test. Lanocote is derived from sheep lanoline, one of the worlds oldest greases, while polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE, aka Teflon) is a 20th century synthetic. There is a range of similarly formulated products in either category that we expect would deliver comparable results. (Forespar makes its own synthetic product, Marelube TEF 45, that would be a better match for Tef-Gel in a true head-to-head.) Lanocote
