Seeking thread sealent suitable for -70 °C application

Q. We have an application requiring thread sealant suitable for use on R22 refrigerant at -70 °C. Do you have any suitable product to meet this specification?

A. We have had great success with Teflon tape on our liquid CO2 lines. The Teflon is fairly inert and will not crystallize.
