Petrolatum Tape

Specifications
Petrolatum Anticorrosive Tapes is a neutral petrolatum based system designed to isolate all metal surface.
Wrapped Petrolatum Tape
Composition:
Non-woven, stitch-bonded, synthetic fabric carrier; fully saturated and coated with a neutral petrolatum compound blended with inert fillers and corrosion inhibitors.

Uses:
For long-life corrosion protection, sealing and waterproofing of atmospheric, buried, and submerged metal surfaces. The high degree of conformability of Petrolatum Anticorrosive Tapes allows for application over irregular surface profiles.

Characteristics:
Stable in composition and plasticity over a wide temperature range.
Non-hardening and non-cracking, which accommodates vibrations and extreme movement of substrate.
Non-toxic, non-flammable with high dielectric strength and highly resistant to mineral acids, alkalis and salts.

Application:
Spirally wrapped using a minimum 2.5cm overlap; where additional protection is required, and for all buried applications, the overlap shall be increased to 55% to ensure a double thickness of material. For vertical application the wrap shall begin at the bottom and proceed up-providing a "weatherboard" overlap.
May apply longitudinally when space is too restricted or confined to apply in the preferred spiral manner, with the overlap on the topside of the pipe providing a "weatherboard" effect.
At the completion of each roll, smooth the overlap by hand in the direction of the spiral to ensure sealing of the overlap. Maintain a 5cm overlap when overlapping one roll with the end of a new roll. Overlap must occur on the top half of the pipe.
