Application

Prepare surfaces by removing all loose scale, rust or other foreign matter in accordance to SSPC SP2 "Hand Tool Cleaning" or SP3 "Power Tool Cleaning". High pressure water wash of 3,000 - 7,000 psi is also suitable. Spirally wrap the tape with a minimum 1" overlap. For severely corrosive environments, a 55% overlap is recommended. While wrapping, press air pockets out and smooth all lap seams.

Irregular surfaces such as valves, flanges, etc. may require the use of Densyl Mastic or Denso Profiling Mastic. Refer to the product sheets for these specific products for information on application and selection.
