Application

Pipeline coating applications that might be subjected to severe soil stress or mechanical impingement can benefit from the protection of an additional outerwrap. Trenton Utility Tape Outerwrap is a cost-effective solution for applications where there is limited potential for impact on cathodic protection systems. 

Typical Applications

  • Additional mechanical protection for:
  • Wax-Tape® Wraps
  • Epoxy coatings
  • FBE
  • PE
  • Other pipeline coatings
     

 Application Procedures

  • Surface should be clean and dry at the time of application.
  • Apply adhesive/sticky face of Trenton Utility Tape Outerwrap to the surface to be covered and commence wrapping, using tension to ensure conformability and intimate adhesion.
  • Overlaps should be a minimum of 10% or greater as specified. End laps should be a minimum of 55% of tape width.
