ULTRA Tef-Gel will protect your boat for as long as you own it, saving you a lifetime of frustration, at least when it comes to boat maintenance. Assemble your bolted connections with TEF-GEL and every connection is easy to disconnect even after intensive use in sea water. Once your item has been returned, we will inspect it and take the necessary action as soon as possible. A small amount of galvanic tef-gel is enough to prevent the exchange of electrons and corrosion that emerges between different metals and carbon materials (aluminium, stainless steel, etc.)

The application guidelines are to be used in conjunction with the product Material Safety Data Sheet and application information printed on the product label. 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 Bottom line: PTFE synthetics have rightfully earned high marks for their anti-seize protection. Best Buy. Conclusion Used properly ULTRA Tef-Gel is the ultimate anti-seize, anti-corrosion lubricant available to the public. Stops and prevents Galling, Seizing, and Blistering in any marine application.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™ must be applied liberally to all surfaces prior to assembly including threaded fasteners and flat surfaces of hardware including washers. Failure to adequately apply Tef-Gel™ will result in a reduction in protection. Any excess Tef-Gel™ can be removed with Mineral Spirits, (Mineral Turpentine) to leave an airtight barrier of protection. Ensure clean up products are used within the guidelines of the product suppliers and the respective Material Safety Data Sheets. The function of Tef-Gel in eliminating dissimilar metal corrosion is the elimination of electrolytes from entering the interface of the metallic surfaces. Tef-Gel paste contains 40% PTFE powder and 0% volatile solvents, no silicones 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.

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™ prevents galling of stainless steel, when applied to fastenings by preventing the high friction forming between the threads of the nuts and the bolts.

Bottom line: Organic greases offer an affordable route to corrosion protection for non-moving parts. Budget Buy. Tef-Gel Channel Islands; Inflatable dinghy price on request Channel Islands; Flares not available to ship at this time Any items that we deem unhygienic will not be processed so please clean faulty goods if returning them. Tef-Gel applied on both surfaces and bolt or nut bolt and threaded solid leaves a film of PTFE, which prevent drill steel 18/Corrosion. B. 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.

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).However, we use Tef Gel in assembly to eliminate the risk of galvanic corrosion between dissimilar metals. This brilliant American-made (as used by the US Navy!) product is difficult to find in the UK, so we decided to sell it to UK yachtsmen. Tef -Gel ™ is derived from a specially formulated Teflon® paste & is used in high corrosive environments to ensure serviceability & presentation of assembled hardware. ​ Tef-Gel™Applications ​ 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. Tef-Gel is a made with a water resistant coating that prevents oxidation of metal and paste corrosion due to the flow galvaniques between different metals.
