Putkiseosta
Putkiseosta is a Finnish term that broadly refers to pipe sealing compounds or pipe joint compounds. These substances are used in plumbing and construction to create watertight seals between sections of pipe, particularly at threaded connections. The primary function of putkiseosta is to fill any small gaps or imperfections in the threads, preventing leaks when the pipes are assembled and pressurized.
The composition of putkiseosta can vary. Some common types are paste-like and contain fillers such as PTFE
Application typically involves applying a thin, even layer of the compound to the male threads before screwing
