Additional Product Information
Overview
3M 470 PTFE Tape is a high-quality sealing tape engineered for demanding aerospace fluid system applications. In aircraft MRO and production, it is used on threaded pipe fittings to create a non-hardening, vibration-resistant seal. Maintenance teams rely on it for leak-free joints that remain serviceable under temperature extremes, vibration, and exposure to aviation fluids.
