It is spread on the threads of pipe before being screwed into a fitting so that the threads will make a seal. Since pipe threads are not machined to fit together perfectly the paste makes up the difference and is compressed between the grooves on the two halves.

TFE paste, or Teflon® paste, is a lubricant and sealing compound made from polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). It is commonly used in plumbing and mechanical applications to provide a seal on threaded joints and prevent leaks, as it withstands high temperatures and pressures. TFE paste also helps to reduce friction, making it easier to tighten fittings without damaging the threads. Unlike traditional PTFE tape, TFE paste can fill larger gaps and is suitable for various materials, including metal and plastic.
Teflon tape and thread sealant are both used to seal pipe joints, but they work in different ways. Teflon tape is a thin, white tape that is wrapped around the threads of a pipe before connecting them. Thread sealant, on the other hand, is a liquid or paste that is applied directly to the threads. In general, thread sealant is considered more effective for sealing pipe joints because it provides a stronger and more reliable seal. Teflon tape can sometimes be more prone to leaks if not applied correctly. However, the choice between the two ultimately depends on the specific application and personal preference.
