PetroWrap Anti-Corrosion Tape

The PetroWrap Anti-Corrosion System has been developed for long term protection of metal surfaces that are underground, underwater, or exposed – even in the most severe environments.
It consists of a cold applied system of petrolatum-based PetroWrap Anti-Corrosion Tape, PetroWrap Primer, and, where contouring is necessary, PetroWrap Mastic. PetroWrap adheres to surfaces without heating, even on damp and/or indifferently prepared areas.

The System

1. PetroWrap Primer Paste is a preparatory primer that displaces moisture, pacifies oxides, and fills small irregularities that occur on the surface to be wrapped with PetroWrap Anti-Corrosion Tape.
2. PetroWrap Mastic is a cold applied filler which profiles areas to be tape wrapped by easing contours on pipe joints, flanges, bolts, and other irregular shapes to be wrapped with PetroWrap Anti-Corrosion Tape.
3. PetroWrap Anti-Corrosion Tape consists of a non-woven, stitch bonded, synthetic fabric which has been fully impregnated with neutral petrolatum based compounds and inert fillers.
4. PetroWrap Overwrap is a 12 mm thick tough adhesive tape. It is available in 50 mm and 100 mm widths.

Application Instructions

1. Remove all contaminants such as dirt, oil, scale and excessive moisture.
2. Brush Petrowrap Primer A evenly over surface to displace remaining moisture and ensure proper adhesion.
3. Press Petrowrap Mastic B into surface irregularities to eliminate air pockets.
4. Wrap Petrowrap Tape C spirally around prepared surface using even tension. An overlap of 55% is recommended to assure total protection.
5. Finish with Petrowrap Overwrap D applied like Petrowrap Tape to prevent mechanical damage as required.
