Tef-Gel is a registered trademark of Ultra Safety Systems, Inc... 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. 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... The base oil is a relatively high viscosity (345cSt at 40 o C) fluoroether oil. It has a wide temperature range, with a pour point of -25 o C and volatility of 0.5% in 24 hours at 150 o C. The molecule consists only of carbon, fluorine, and oxygen atoms. Because of its high fluorine content it has a relatively high density. One gallon of the base oil would weigh almost 16 pounds (1 gallon H2O= 8 pounds).
