USE:

For the protection of fittings and similar structures from corrosion above ground, buried or immersed. To protect the metal structure from the environment the tapes must cover the entire surface.

APPLICATION

1. Surface preparation:

Surfaces must be clean and dry. Remove all loose rust, scale and flaking coatings by scraping, wire brushing or blast cleaning.

2. Priming:

For all diameter pipes and fittings apply Prempaste by gloved hand or brush in a thin layer over the entire surface including threads, crevices and pitted areas.

Apply one coat of Prempaste over the entire area to be wrapped. Allow to dry.

3. Premtape Tropical:

Select as wide a width of tape as practical, e.g. 75mm wide for 75mm diameter pipe. For buried or immersed applications apply tapes with 55% overlap to give double thickness.

For above ground use overlap tapes by 15mm for widths up to 150mm and 25mm for wider tapes. Press the end of the tape firmly onto the pipe and unroll the tape around the pipe spirally, overlapping itself.

Apply sufficient tension to conform the tape to the surface without gaps. Do not overstretch. Start a new roll by overlapping the ends by one tape width.

Press down all folds and smooth the entire area with special attention to the overlaps.

4. Premier PVC SA Tape 200

Wrap Premier PVC SA Tape 200 as the final layer to provide the long-lasting outer.
