Application Procedures
Surface Preparation
Remove all loose rust, scale, paint, ice, dirt and other foreign matter with a wire brush (SSPC SP2, ISO St 2). Wipe surface dry, if possible.
Tape and Primer Application
Coat pipe surface with Trenton Temcoat™ 3000 primer by hand, ensuring an even, continuous film of primer over all exposed metal surfaces to be wrapped.
With a downward-facing starting point, wrap Trenton Wax-Tape® HT-3000 onto pipe in a spiral pattern using a minimum 1″ overlap. When wrapping, apply tension and press the wrap onto surface.
After wrapping, rub the entire surface of the wrap to remove any air bubbles and to smooth the surface. Press the overlap seams and ensure they are sealed and tapered, especially on each end of wrap application.
If ambient work site temperatures are below 50°F, keep tape warm before application.
Trenton MCO™ outerwrap should be used for applications requiring substantial mechanical protection or where contact with the sticky exterior might be a problem.
