ARL Pipe-Kote Tape CT

Anti Corrosive Pipe Protection Coal Tar Tape

Description
PIPE--KOTE CT Tape is a hot applied, factory made, prefabricated coal tar coating in tape form
for protecting buried MS Pipelines carrying high value fluids (viz. Petrol, Crude etc), Gas (CNG, NG,
LPG etc.) and Drinking water (arsenic--free). PIPE--KOTE is composed of specially formulated
plasticized coal tar coating completely saturated and bonded to both sides of a high tensile strength
fabric. PIPE--KOTE is manufactured in accordance with AWWA C--203 and IS--15337.

PIPE--KOTE Primer--B -All season synthetic primer -- A chlorinated based synthetic primer
modified and adjusted with plasticizers and stabilizers in a blend of special solvents. It is compatible
with PIPE--KOTE Tape and it is free flowing, & fast drying. It provides excellent bonding with the
metallic surface and the coating. It conforms to AWWA C203 & IS--15337 Standards.
Primer Consumption Ratio--1 liter: 6 Sq Mtr.

APPLICATION METHODOLOGY
EQUIPMENT-

A torch with wider mouth is recommended

SURFACE PREPARATION-

1 Surface must be free from dust, dirt, grease oil and other foreign
material by scrapping or send blasting to a SSPC-SP-1 standard.
2 If moisture is present, it should be removed before primer application by
use of torch.

PRIMER APPLICATION-

1 PIPE-KOTE Primer-B is compatible with PIPE-KOTE Tape. The drum is

shaken thoroughly to get a homogenous solution. Primer is applied by
brush or spray after proper surface preparation.
2. Precaution should be taken to avoid the contacts of any foreign
material with the primed surface prior to application of PIPE-KOTE.

TAPE APPLICATION-

1 PIPE-KOTE is applied after proper surface preparation and priming. When

the primed surface gets tacky but not dry, by heating the coating side
without polyester film until a smooth and glossy finish is obtained. Heating
to be done by a wide-mouthed torch. Heating is to be done very carefully
so that the film remains in a semi liquid state during application. Excessive
heating is to be avoided. The heated tape is then applied with proper
tension with an overlap of 10-12 mm.

2. Spiral wrapping as well as circumferential wrapping is possible with our

tape.

3. For weld joints the taping shall start and stop at least 4 inches onto the
factory wrap.

STORAGE, HANDLING & SHIPPING-

To be stored in cardboard boxes in a cool dry covered area. Direct contact

with sunlight to be avoided. Proper care must be taken while handling the
material during stacking, loading and unloading.

SIZES & PACKAGING-

Available in widths of 330 mm, 500 mm & 1000 mm in length of 10 meters

and in Thickness of 2, 3 and 4 mm. Material is packed in a proper manner to
avoid damage to the Tape rolls.

TECHNICAL SERVICES-

Other technical data and advice are available on request.

HEALTH & SAFETY-

The use of gloves & goggles and fiber type mask is recommended when
Applying PIPE- KOTE Tape.
