The Elring Sealing Tape (498.701) is a professional-grade PTFE thread sealant designed for technicians and mechanics working in automotive, chemical, and industrial machinery maintenance. It provides a durable, leak-proof seal for threaded fittings and control components, though users must be precise during application to ensure the tape does not shred or impede flow channels.

This is a white PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) sealing tape.
Yes, it is designed for use in the chemical industry and follows DIN/ISO EN 751/3 standards.
Yes, it is a direct replacement for both Mercedes-Benz 000 989 40 98 and A 000 989 40 98.
Each reel contains 12 meters of sealing tape.
The tape is rated for continuous use in a temperature range from -200°C to 280°C.
Typically, 2 to 3 full wraps are sufficient for most standard threaded fittings.
Ensure the tape was wrapped in the direction of the thread and increase the number of wraps slightly to account for thread depth.
You have likely applied too many layers of tape. Remove the fitting, strip the old tape, and apply a thinner, uniform layer.
Before applying the tape, ensure that all threads are clean, dry, and free of oil or debris to allow for proper adhesion. Wrap the tape tightly around the male thread in the direction of the tightening motion, typically applying 2 to 3 layers for a sufficient seal. Avoid over-wrapping, as excessive thickness can cause the plastic housing or fitting to crack during installation. For storage, keep the reel in a cool, dry place and ensure the protective cap is kept on the spool to prevent dust contamination of the adhesive surface.
