STACwrap series

High Conformability Petrolatum Tape

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 allows for application over irregular surface profiles including gad utility,sewer,potable water,mining,and wastewater applications.

STACwrap is stable in composition and plasticity over a wide temperature range.

STACwrap is non-hardening and non-cracking, which accommodates vibrations and extreme movement of the substrate.
STACwrap is non-toxic, non-flammable with high dielectric strength and highly resistant to mineral acids, alkalis and salts.

Products are most widely used for maintenance projects. These products are non-toxic and non-flammable. They are simple to apply, highly flexible and conform easily to irregular and voided surfaces. Petrolatum based products can be applied to all kinds of surfaces – cold, wet or submerged, pitted or corroded. Once applied on a minimally prepared surface, corrosion will stop. These products are corrosion resistant to water, salts, acids and caustics. They also have excellent long term UV stability. Petrolatum based products do not harden with the passage of time and can be removed for inspection, then reapplied. Many installations have service lives of over 20 years.

Spirally wrapped using a minimum 2.5 cm 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 applications the wrap shall begin at the bottom and proceed up – providing a “weatherboard” overlap.

May apply longitudinally (i.e., “cigarette wrapped”) 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 overlaps by hand in the direction of the spiral to ensure sealing of the overlap. Maintain a 5 cm overlap when overlapping one roll with the end of a new roll. Overlap must occur on the top
half of the pipe.
