Description

Trenton #2 Wax-Tape provides long-lasting corrosion protection for above-ground metal surfaces, pipes or fittings to prevent corrosion. It is recommended when abrasive blasting or painting are impractical. It resists weathering and UV without the need for an additional outer coat or outer wrap. It is a non-woven, non-stitch bonded synthetic fabric, saturated with a blend of microcrystalline wax, solvents and corrosion inhibitors (no clay fillers), forming a tape wrapper that firms up and is suitable for painting.

Trenton’s #2A Wax-Tape completely conforms to irregular surfaces, such as this gas wellhead, and is unaffected by the elements.

Advantages

• Minimal surface preparation
• Readily conforms to irregular shapes
• Non-toxic, non-carcinogenic, low VOCs
• Resists corrosive industrial atmospheres
• Can be applied over wet surfaces
• Compatible with other coatings
• Tape firms up and does not require additional outer coat or outer wrap
• Excellent resistance to weathering and UV
• Can be painted after firming up

Application Procedure

Wire brush and scrape the surface clean of loose mill scale, rust, paint and other foreign matter. Apply a thin film of Wax-Tape Primer. If the surface is wet, cold or rusty, then rub and press on primer firmly to displace the moisture and ensure adhesion. Then wrap #2 Wax-Tape using a 1” overlap. While wrapping, press and mold the tape into conformity, ensuring that there are no air pockets or voids, so that the tape is in intimate contact with the surface. Also, press and smooth out lap seams to ensure that they are sealed. If the tape is going to be painted, allow a few days for it to firm up.
