Explore our industry-standard anti-corrosion materials engineered for harsh operational environments.
The chemical and mechanical superiority of aluminum foil backing in mitigation of corrosion under insulation (CUI) and atmospheric exposure.
Aluminum foil viscoelastic anti-corrosion tape represents the pinnacle of modern cold-applied polymer protection. The core adhesive layer consists of a compound based on low-density, non-crystalline, non-crosslinked polyolefin polymers. Because of its unique molecular architecture, the viscoelastic compound exhibits cold flow and self-healing properties. Over time, the tape actively flows into the micro-cavities, surface profile valleys, and anchor patterns of the steel substrate, achieving 100% surface contact without voiding.
Unlike traditional mastic tapes or heat shrinkable sleeves, viscoelastic materials do not cure or harden. They maintain liquid-like wetting capabilities combined with solid-like cohesion permanently, remaining flexible at temperatures as low as -45°C and stable up to 95°C. This eliminates the risk of adhesive cracking, debonding, or peeling under cyclic thermal loading.
The addition of an engineered aluminum foil backing layer transforms standard viscoelastic tape into a multi-barrier defense system:
A state-level high-tech enterprise integrating R&D, production, and cathodic protection services.
CYCT New Materials Company Limited (for short, CYCT) is a state-level high-tech enterprise integrating R&D, production and sales of pipeline corrosion protection materials as well as buried pipeline detection service and pipeline coating field application service into one. CYCT devotes itself to R&D, production and sales of pipeline corrosion protection materials for decades.
CYCT owns leading testing and R&D capabilities, a professional R&D team, and a national CNAS-accredited laboratory. By partnering with leading R&D institutes such as the CNPC Pipeline Science Research Institute, CYCT is capable of providing in-service pipelines with varied technical services such as buried pipeline detection, design scheme, cathodic protection, rehabilitation projects, and integrated safety solutions.
CYCT has become a stable supplier of field joint coatings for years in PetroChina, Sinopec, PipeChina, China Gas Group, and local pipeline operations, commanding a dominant market share. Additionally, CYCT has successfully developed and introduced specialized corrosion protection systems including visco-elastic materials, photo-curing sleeves for Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) protection, and polyurea coatings.
Custom-engineered viscoelastic solutions matching project-specific thickness, dimensions, and operational limits.
We support custom tape widths ranging from 50mm up to 500mm, with roll lengths variable from 10m to 30m. This allows contractors to minimize waste on pipe bends, field joints, and storage tank base rims.
Our state-of-the-art CNAS laboratory adjusts polymer density and plasticizer profiles. This provides custom adhesion performance for polar environments (low-temp tackiness) or desert settings (high shear resistance).
We offer single or multi-layered composite backings, integrating 50-micron to 150-micron high-density aluminum foil. Custom outer reinforcing mesh can be co-extruded to enhance tensile load limits.
Unlocking cost advantages, reliable scaling, and compliance for international infrastructure projects.
By producing in China’s chemical manufacturing clusters, CYCT leverages vertically integrated raw material networks. We secure monomer feedstocks, high-purity aluminum foil coils, and specialized release liners at scale. This allows us to guarantee high capacity and protect global buyers from supply bottlenecks.
Additionally, our shipping networks out of key ports like Qingdao, Tianjin, and Shanghai guarantee seamless logistics. Our ocean transit times, customs pre-clearance protocols, and standard packing configurations reduce logistics overhead for overseas procurement teams.
Corrosion engineers calculate the value of anti-corrosion materials over a 30-year lifecycle. CYCT's OEM aluminum foil viscoelastic tapes minimize cost at two levels:
Meeting requirements for AMPP/NACE, ISO 21809-3, and local regulatory bodies.
CYCT operates an advanced national CNAS-accredited laboratory. Every production lot undergoes rigorous mechanical and electrical performance verification, including:
We supply materials compliant with ISO 21809-3 Type 1A/1B standards. Our engineering team assists with documentation submittals for local approvals, gas distribution utility specs, and state water agency authorizations.
From exposed atmospheric lines to buried pipeline field joint systems.
Widely applied as a field joint coating (FJC) system over welded pipe joints on 3LPE, 3LPP, and FBE-coated pipes. The aluminum foil backing acts as an excellent barrier against moisture ingress in underground soils.
Perfect for refinery pipelines, chemical plant manifolds, and atmospheric bridge crossings. The aluminum layer provides UV blocking and weatherproofing to protect the viscoelastic compound from weathering.
Because of the high pliability of the viscoelastic core, the tape stretches and molds easily over flange faces, tee joints, transition fittings, and valve bodies, filling all voids.
The shift toward eco-friendly, fast-applying, and durable protective systems.
The global pipeline transmission industry is focusing on minimizing installation downtime and carbon footprints. Here is how aluminum foil viscoelastic technology aligns with these developments:
