Q. Does Teflon tape melt?
A.Teflon tape may certainly melt under very high temperature. About 327°C (620°F), its melting point is rather high. The tape starts to melt and break down, though, when the temperature rises over this point. Teflon tape is meant to work at more or less controlled temperatures so that it works perfectly in most standard tasks. It is indeed heat-resistant but should never be applied in areas where it cannot withstand heat. It ceases to become a sealing agent when under exceptionally high temperatures. It can get soft and lose its shape, and it cannot provide a vacuum seal anymore. If Teflon tape is to be used, it is a good notion to use it in applications where temperature stays within the safe limits. If you need to seal connections and the environment is very high temperature, use specialized material for special considerations. Teflon tape works best in moderate temperature ranges.
