Weather-Resistant PE Outer Tape Cold Applied Tape for Oil & Gas Pipeline Corrosion Protection

System Description

The outer tape series is a cold applied tape coating system designed for the corrosion protection of oil, gas, petrochemical, and wastewater underground or overhead pipelines. The outer-layer tape backing is specially formulated to provide robust resistance to outdoor weathering.

The outer-layer tape is applied after the inner-layer tape, either manually by hand or using a professional wrapping machine.

PE Outer Tape Structure

The specification of the tape features a dual-layer structure consisting of an adhesive layer and a film backing:

• Adhesive: High-performance butyl rubber
• Film Backing: Special blend of stabilized polyethylene (PE)

Outer Tape Features

• Excellent adhesion to inner-layer tape and self-amalgamation
• Highly resistant to UV radiation and outdoor weathering
• Can be applied over a wide temperature range
• Good conformability and consistent uniform thickness
• Easily applied with no specialized equipment required
• Compatible with common pipeline coatings
• Excellent resistance to cathodic disbonding
• Meets ASTM D 1000 Standard specifications
• Cold applied without requiring open flames or heat
