Company Offers Premium Tuf And Sof Thread Sealants, And Everything In Between

Franklin Park, IL - Anti-Seize Technology (AST), a long-time industrial chemical producer has been manufacturing Thread Sealants since their inception in 1971. Along with many other products, AST carries the broadest line of Thread Sealants including brush-on, PTFE Tapes, and anaerobic threadlockers and sealants. Two standout products in the AST line are Tuf-Set and Sof-Set thread sealants.

Tuf-Set, one of AST's newest products, is a high-performance HVAC blue pipe-thread sealant. It offers smooth consistency for easy application and is formulated for fast drying to ensure quicker sealing time. Tuf-Set is formulated to stay flexible in order to resist vibrations and thermal expansions or contractions as found in the HVAC industry. It has no PTFE, no heavy metals such as lead or cadmium, and can be used on all metal and most plastic pipe connections.

Sof-Set, a long-time success for AST, is a semi-smooth, easily-applied, thread-sealing compound formulated with special ingredients to provide superior sealing to a variety of liquids and gases. Sof-Set is non-petroleum based with a high-solids content that firms up after application to further promote a lasting quality seal.

Known for their customer service and for their "You don't have to pay for the name" ad campaign, AST delivers high-quality products at reasonable prices. Their line of 17+ Thread Sealants includes products with PTFE performance, UL Classified, NSF Registered, and FDA Approved credentials, hydraulic formulated sealants, non-hardening and non-grit formulas, hard-and-soft-sealing products, Poly-Temp Tapes, and Anaerobic threadlockers and sealants.

AST's Website (www.antiseize.com) offers detailed descriptions of each product in an easy-to-navigate format. AST products serve many industries and a wide range of uses. In addition to Thread Sealants, other product lines include anti-seize compounds, lubricants, penetrants, threadlockers, protectants, instant-gasket products, and cleaners.
