Wrapid Tape TM 4 pipes

Wrapid Tape TM

Primerless Crosslinked Protective Tape

Canusa Wrapid Tape™ consists of a crosslinked polyolefi n backing, coated with a protective, heat sensitive anti-corrosion adhesive which effectively bonds to steel substrates and com-mon pipeline coatings including polyethylene and fusion bonded epoxy. Upon the application of heat, Wrapid Tape™ shrinks down to fully encapsulate the protected substrate. The product is packaged in convenient rolls with various widths to protect and repair pipelines, fi ttings, bends, elbows and other irregular confi gurations.

Easy InstallationThe flexibility provided by the thinner tape dimension allows Wrapid Tape™ to effectively protect both conventional substra-tes such as circular pipe as well as irregular transitions such as elbows and risers. Upon the application of heat, the specially formulated adhesive flows into all surface irregularities, forming a protective barrier against corrosion.

Saves Time & MoneyWrapid Tape™ is quick and easy to install. Since no special priming or operator equipment is required, product installation is quick and labour costs are kept to a minimum. Unlike conven-tional cold-applied tapes, Wrapid Tape™ does not require the use of high volatile primers, further minimizing costs and risks to health and safety.

Long Term ProtectionWrapid Tape™ is manufactured using materials that provide high electrical resistivity, low water absorption and low moisture per-meability. The unique crosslinking process results in a protective backing that is much tougher than conventional tapes, more effectively resisting abrasion and damage, and thus extending the lifetime of the substrate. Wrapid Tape™ can also be double or triple wrapped for extra mechanical protection when required.
