Description

Virax Filetfix III Thread Sealant - 262671

The Virax 262671 Filetfix® III Thread Sealant is a professional anaerobic resin sealant designed for secure sealing of threaded pipe connections. Suitable for gas, water, air and petroleum systems, it provides a reliable sealing solution for plumbers, heating engineers and mechanical contractors working on suitable metal threaded fittings.

Filetfix® III can be used on threaded connections in contact with town gas, natural gas, LPG, hot water, drinking water, air and petroleum products. Its fast-acting formula allows repositioning shortly after application while delivering strong sealing performance under pressure when used according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Professional Anaerobic Thread Sealant

This high-performance thread sealant is designed to polymerise within the threaded connection, helping create a durable seal for demanding trade applications. It is especially useful where a clean, controlled and efficient alternative to traditional thread sealing methods is required.

When applied to a Ø1" pipe installation at 20°C, sealing can be achieved after approximately 5 minutes, with resistance up to 50 bar under stated application conditions.

Application Guidance

Before applying Virax Filetfix® III, make sure the threaded parts are clean, degreased and dry. A dry solvent such as acetone may be used for preparation where suitable.

For threads below 2" diameter: apply a bead of Filetfix® III to the first two threads of the male section.
For threads 2" diameter and above: apply to the first four threads and to the female part.
Assemble the two parts and tighten using normal tools.
Wipe off excess product thoroughly after assembly.
After assembly and drying, do not unscrew the joint as this may affect the seal.

Important Usage Notes

Do not use on pure oxygen circuits.
Do not use on steam circuits.
Do not use on plastic materials.
For brass couplings on hot water circuits, preliminary testing is recommended.
Complete polymerisation is achieved after approximately 24 hours, or 72 hours for stainless steel.
Polymerisation occurs from 5°C.
Filetfix® III cannot compensate for faults or damage in the threaded fitting.
Maximum gap should be less than 0.3mm.
