Pipeline Encapsulation System

Viscotaq® is a viscous elastic coating for protection of underground and aboveground substrates. Once applied, Viscotaq® forms a homogenous, continuous, impervious coating which is self-healing in cases of minimal damages. Viscotaq® is available in rolls, paste form or as a sealant that is applied from a cartridge.

SURFACE PREPARATION
VISCOWRAP HT APPLICATION
PE/PVC OUTERWRAP APPLICATION
SURFACE PREPARATION
- Minimum Surface Preparation should be ST2/ SSPC-SP2 (Hand Tool Clean).
- Clean surface with denatured alcohol or acetone to remove any remaining dust, grease and mois ture.
- Surface of the substrate should be 5°F+ above the dew point.
- The adjacent coating should be roughened by means of sand paper or a grinding machine (If applicable). Suggested overlap
on to the exis ting pipe coating: <30” pipelines 4” overlap, >30” pipelines 6” overlap.
VISCOWRAP HT APPLICATION
Viscotaq® Viscowrap HT is applied by removing the release liner and placing
adhesive side on the pipe. Initial wrap should be a straight circumference wrap.
Once initial straight circumference wrap is
completed, wrap with slight tension and a minimum 1/2” overlap. Wrap at an angle
to create a smooth overlap.
For coating repairs and difficult to reach
areas Viscotaq® Viscowrap HT can be
applied in pieces, strips or individual circumference wraps (Cigarette Wrap).
PE/PVC OUTERWRAP APPLICATION
Outerwrap should be wrapped with tension
and a minimum of 50% overlap.
First wrap and termination wrap should be
a straight circumference wrap.
A 1⁄4” section of Viscotaq® Viscowrap HT
should still be visible at after the PVC or PE
Outer Wrap had been applied.
