USAGE
Prepare surfaces by removing all loose scale, rust
or other foreign matter in accordance to SSPC
SP2 "Hand Tool Cleaning" or SP3 "Power Tool
Cleaning". High pressure water wash of 3,000 -
7,000 psi is also suitable. Apply a thin film of
Densyl Paste, which serves as a primer. Spirally
wrap the tape with a minimum 1'' overlap. For
severely corrosive environments, a 55% overlap
is recommended. While wrapping, press air
pockets out and smooth all lap seams. For
additional mechanical protection, an overwrap
may be used to increase impact strength and
electrical resistance.
Irregular surfaces such as valves, flanges, etc.
may require the use of Densyl Mastic or Densyl
Profiling Mastic. Refer to the product sheets for
these specific products for information on
application and selection.
