CANUSA Wrapid Tape™
HCA
Primerless crosslinked protective tape for mainline
pipeline coating repair
Description
CANUSA Wrapid Tape™ consists of a crosslinked
polyolefin backing, coated with a protective, heat sensitive anticorrosion adhesive which
effectively bonds to steel substrates and common pipeline coatings including polyethylene
and fusion bonded epoxy. Upon the application of heat, Wrapid Tape™ shrinks down to
fully encapsulate the protected substrate. The product is packaged in convenient rolls
with various widths to protect and repair pipelines, fittings, bends, elbows and other
irregular configurations.
Features & Benefits
 
Easy
Installation
The flexibility provided by the thinner tape dimension
allows Wrapid Tape™ to effectively protect both conventional substrates such as
circular pipe as well as irregular transitions such as elbows and risers. Upon the
application of heat, the specially formulated adhesive flows into all surface
irregularities, forming a protective barrier against corrosion.
Saves Time & Money
Wrapid Tape™ is quick and easy to install. Since no
special priming or operator equipment is required, product installation is quick and labor
costs are kept to a minimum. Unlike conventional cold-applied tapes, Wrapid Tape™
does not require the use of high volatile primers, further minimizing costs and risks to
health and safety.
Long
Term Protection
Wrapid Tape™ is manufactured using materials that
provide high electrical resistivity, low water absorption and low moisture permeability.
The unique crosslinking process results in a protective backing that is much tougher than
conventional tapes, more effectively resisting abrasion and damage, and thus extending the
lifetime of the substrate. Wrapid Tape™ can also be double or triple wrapped for
extra mechanical protection when required.
