Viscotaq Specification for Sealing System at Chime Area of Storage tanks

Description

VISCOTAQ PE Outer Wrap is a Heavy Duty polyethylene backing in the form of a roll, calendered with an adhesive. The tape is used as an Outer Wrap for the mechanical protection of VISCOTAQ products against soil stress, back fill procedures and other forms of mechanical impact. Furthermore, it gives a continuous external pressure to the VISCOTAQ corrosion prevention inner material and accelerates the process of the formation of a homologue continuous inner coating. VISCOTAQ PE Outer Wrap is produced from MDPE/HDPE and is wrapped with a 50% overlap onto the VISCOTAQ corrosion prevention coating. The material is applied onto the substrate by hand or by means of a tape wrap machine.

General information

VISCOTAQ is a unique viscous-elastic non crystalline a-polar polyolefin for the protection of shaped and non-shaped substrates. VISCOTAQ offers the pipeline industry an unrivaled technology when it comes to corrosion prevention. Unlike other coatings VISCOTAQ always has a permanent and intimate contact with
the surface of a substrate. The viscosity and elasticity modulus of the material are designed in such a way that the viscosity modulus provides permanent wetting characteristics hence forcing the material to flow into the pores and anomalies of the substrates whereas the elasticity modules provides the strength and elasticity of a solid.
