Tef-gel TG-02 (2oz Tub) the corrosion eliminator and lubricant, prevents rust, seizing, gulling, and corrosion. Tef Gel is a food grade PTFE based lubricant that won’t wash out in salt water. NSN 8030014504009

Product Information

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).

The application guidelines are to be used in conjunction with the product Material Safety Data Sheet and application information printed on the product label. 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).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 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). 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 ™ 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 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 is a made with a water resistant coating that prevents oxidation of metal and paste corrosion due to the flow galvaniques between different metals. 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

Widely trusted in the marine, automotive, aviation, and aerospace industries, Tikal Tef-Gel is the go-to choice for safeguarding crucial parts from corrosion. Rest easy knowing that your valuable components are shielded from the harmful effects of moisture and corrosion.

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. 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 ​Tef Gel is a PTFE based waterproof lubricant with anti-corrosion and anti-seize properties. Tef Gel does not break down in salt water or detergents. Here at Eclectic, we use the highest quality marine grade material throughout, and moving parts are fitted with low-friction bearing bushes. When assembled hardware and fastenings are finally tightened, there needs to be a visible bead of Tef-Gel™ splayed evenly around the head of the fastener and or the hardware. 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.
