How to Apply Pypkote Anti-Corrosion Tape
Pypkote is designed for easy installation, requiring minimal surface preparation. Follow these steps to ensure maximum protection:
- Surface Preparation: Clean the surface to remove dirt, rust, and loose particles.
- Primer Application (Optional): In certain environments, a primer may be applied to improve adhesion.
- Tape Wrapping: Start at the end of the pipe and wrap Pypkote tightly around the pipe surface with at least a 55% overlap.
- Final Check: Ensure a smooth application, pressing down the tape to remove air pockets.
- Additional Layers: In extremely corrosive environments, multiple layers can be applied for enhanced protection.
Case Studies and Success Stories
Project Highlight:
- Challenge: Corrosion in subsea pipelines due to saltwater exposure.
- Solution: Pypkote anti-corrosion tape was applied, offering full protection against water ingress and corrosion.
