TAPECOAT H30/H35 MAF

Tapecoat H50 Gray Cold-applied above and below ground coating in tape form with an integrated primer. Tapecoat H35 Gray and Tapecoat H50 Gray are designed to protect above and below ground metal surfaces from corrosion and electrolysis. They are used for coating pipe, girth welds, fittings, couplings, tanks, pipetype cable, conduit, tie rods, elevator casings and other metal surfaces. Their unique MAFR backing hasbeen specially formulated to provide strength that allows it to be pulled tightly around fittings and other irregular shapes with minimal pull back due to memory. Tapecoat H35 Gray and Tapecoat H50 Gray employ an integrated primer and are resistant to UV rays, thermal expansion, impact and abrasion. Both tapes can be applied over a wide range of ambient temperatures.

Composition
Tapecoat H35 Gray and Tapecoat H50 Gray are composed of a Gray specially formulated MAFR backing with a synthetic elastomeric adhesive. Impregnated into the adhesive is an integrated primer.

Surface Preparation
Surface must be clean and dry. SSPC-SP3 Power Tool Cleaning is recommended to remove any loose rust and scale, dust or dirt. A “Tack Cloth” for removal of fine dust particles is provided in each carton. Oil, grease and all other residue are to be removed from pipe surface per SSPC-SP1 Solvent Cleaning. SSPC-SP6 Commercial Blast Cleaning is optional.

Tapecoat H35 Gray and Tapecoat H50 Gray are impregnated with an integrated primer.

Tape Application

• Spiral Wrap: Tapecoat H35 Gray and Tapecoat H50 Gray are hand applied by removing the release liner and spirally wrappin with a continuous overlap of tape. Tension in wrapping should be enough to obtain conformability to the surface being coated.

• Cigarette Wrap: Pre-cut strips of Tapecoat H35 Gray or Tapecoat H50 Gray to a length equal to the circumference of the pipe plus a minimum of 4". Follow general tape applications described above.

Option: Tape wrapping machines available upon request.
