Moldable Sealant for Irregular Surfaces by Tapecoat
Watertight, conformable coating for corrosion protection of irregular surfaces.
Tapecoat Moldable Sealant is a 60 mil, cold applied, dielectric putty designed for contour surfaces prior to application of Tapecoat Elastomeric Tapes.
- VOC Free
- Release liner on both sides of Moldable Sealant
- Maximum service temperature is 140F
- Meets NACE SP0109 and ANSI/AWWA C209 and C216
Available as follows:
2" x 50', 12 Rolls per Case
4" x 50', 6 Rolls per Case
6" x 50', 4 Rolls per Case
Tapecoat Moldable Sealant is a conformable water tight coating for irregular surfaces, such as bolt style mechanical couplings, bell and spigot joints, saddle tees or leak clamps; as a sealant in vaults, on underground tracer wire and other low voltage manual wire connections, on anode wire connections, as an insulating adhesive with shrinkable tubing.
Composition
Tapecoat Moldable Sealant is a 100% solids formulation of thermoplastic elastomeric and synthetic resins. Blended in this adhesive is an “integrated primer.”

Application
Surface Preparation
Surface must be clean and dry. Moisture, dust, dirt, rust or other foreign matter should be removed by scraping or wire brushing. Remove oil and grease, etc, with suitable detergent. Optional cleaning method SSPC 6 Commercial Blast.
Application
- Priming: Because TC-Moldable Sealant comes with an "integrated primer" built into the adhesive, liquid primer may not be required. TC Omniprime Primer has been developed specifically for use with Moldable Sealant. The coverage is approximately 300 square feet per gallon. Let TC Omniprime dry to a tacky consistency before applying Moldable Sealant.
- Sealant Application: Remove the release liner on one side of the moldable sealant and apply to the surface to be protected. Remove the remaining liner and use it as an aid in molding the sealant until all voids and crevasses have been filled. Liner may then be used as an overwrap for additional mechanical protection.
