Denso Petroleum Tape (Petrolatum) 50/75/100mm – Anti-Corrosion Pipe Wrap Tape

Petroleum tape (petrolatum tape) — a cold-applied anti-corrosion wrap that protects metal against corrosion and weathering, above ground, buried or immersed. Made from a non-woven, stitch-bonded synthetic fabric carrier fully saturated with a natural petrolatum compound and corrosion inhibitors, it conforms to irregular shapes and doesn't harden or crack, so it stays flexible and protective for years. No primer or heat needed — just clean the surface and wrap.

Material
Petrolatum-impregnated tape — non-woven synthetic fabric carrier saturated with a natural petrolatum compound blended with inert fillers and corrosion inhibitors

Widths available
50mm, 75mm and 100mm 

Protects
Buried and exposed pipes, rods, cables, valves, joints, flanges, metal fittings, surfaces and tanks — including marine, gas utility, sewer, potable water, mining and waste-water applications.

Key properties
Non-hardening and non-cracking, so it accommodates vibration and extreme substrate movement. Highly conformable over irregular profiles. Stable in composition and plasticity over a wide temperature range. Non-toxic and non-flammable, with high dielectric strength, and highly resistant to mineral acids, alkalis and salts.

How to apply
Wear suitable gloves. Spirally wrap using a minimum 55% overlap. For vertical runs, start at the bottom and work up to give a 'weatherboard' overlap. Where space is confined, apply longitudinally ('cigarette wrap') with the overlap on the top of the pipe. Smooth the overlaps by hand as you finish each roll, and maintain a 100mm overlap where one roll ends and a new roll begins.

Also known as petrolatum tape, anti-corrosion tape, pipe wrap tape, corrosion protection tape, wax tape or denso-type tape.
