Cold-Applied Pipe Wrapping Tape with Polyethylene Backing and Butyl Rubber Adhesive for Pipeline Petrolatum Tape Protection

Cold-Applied Corrosion Protection for Pipeline Field Joints and Rehabilitation

Our Pipe Wrapping Tape is a high-performance, cold-applied protective tape system designed for the external corrosion protection of steel pipelines, field joints, fittings, and repaired coating areas. Manufactured with a durable polyethylene backing and a high-performance adhesive layer, this tape provides a continuous, watertight barrier against moisture, oxygen, and corrosive soils—without the need for heat or specialized equipment.

Pipe wrapping tape is the workhorse of pipeline corrosion protection. Whether used as an inner wrap, outer wrap, or standalone repair tape, it delivers reliable performance across a wide range of pipeline sizes, service conditions, and environmental exposures.

Pipe wrapping tape can be used in multiple configurations depending on the project requirements:

• Pipeline field joints – Girth welds, tie-ins, and repair areas

• Fittings and connections – Valves, flanges, tees, and elbows

• Buried and submerged pipelines – Onshore and offshore environments

• Coating rehabilitation – Repair of damaged PE, PP, FBE, and bitumen coatings

• Water and gas transmission lines – External corrosion protection

• Industrial piping – Chemical plants, refineries, and power facilities

Surface Preparation: Clean the steel surface to remove loose rust, dirt, oil, and contaminants. Surface should be dry and frost-free.

Apply Primer (if specified): Apply a compatible primer to the prepared surface and allow to dry.

Apply Pipe Wrapping Tape: Starting at one end, apply the tape spirally around the pipe with the specified overlap (typically 50%), pressing firmly to ensure intimate contact and eliminate air pockets.

Overlap onto Plant Coating: Extend the tape onto the adjacent sound plant coating to create a continuous sealed barrier.

Apply Outer Wrap (if specified): Install the outer wrap tape over the inner wrap for mechanical protection.

Inspect: Verify complete coverage, sealed edges, and proper overlap. No curing time is required before backfill.
