Wax-Tape®: Long Lasting Corrosion Protection Tape

wax tape

The Trenton Wax-Tape® Anticorrosion Wrap System is the fruit of intense studies and research into developing a complete solution to limiting corrosion in conditions within proximity to water, both underground and above ground.

The applicator can install the Trenton Wax-Tape® Anticorrosion Wrap System with minimal surface preparation, making it highly suited to situations where space or environmental constraints prevent abrasion blasting.

With minimal operator training required, the easy to apply corrosion protection tape does not call for any special equipment. A wire brush is sufficient to apply each component of the Trenton Wax-Tape® Anticorrosion Wrap System, including:

1. Temcoat™ 3000 Primer - Temcoat™ 3000 Primer can be applied by hand after an SPSS SP2 or IOS ST2 wire brushing to remove loose dirt and rust, whereas many other anticorrosion wraps require blasting of the steel surface to remove all traces of coating. Since the primer is hydrophobic, the surface does not need to try to displace the moisture and bond to the surface of the pipe. Temcoat™ 3000 Primer provides the optimum protection needed to combat corrosion in such harsh environments.

2. Wax-Tape® #2 Anticorrosion Wrap - Wax-Tape® #2 Anticorrosion Wrap is made up of microcrystalline wax. Along with a solvent, the components are impregnated into a thick, nonwoven and synthetic felt-type material with no traces of siliceous mineral fillers. The solvent evaporates upon exposure to air, leaving a rigid, non-sticky surface that resists harsh ultraviolet (UV) radiation. With its unique characteristics, the wrap can seamlessly conform to irregular surfaces, making for an especially useful solution to dealing with pipe bolts or fittings where corrosion almost always starts.

3. Wax-Tape® #1 Anticorrosion Wrap - Offering the same corrosion protection to steel surfaces as Wax-Tape® #2 Wrap, Wax-Tape® #1 Wrap is ideal for use underground where a cured finish is not necessitated.

4. HT-3000™ High-Temperature Anticorrosion Wrap - This specially designed solution is suited to temperatures up to 110°C in both above ground and below ground situations.

5. MCO™ Outerwrap - For further mechanical protection, MCO™ Outerwrap is recommended for a quick cure to a hard surface.
