Tape Description

  • No.160 pipe wrapping tape combines a conformable PVC backing with a rubber-based pressure-sensitive adhesive. Its flexible construction allows close-fitting application around pipe surfaces, ends and coating-to-steel transitions.

    This PVC protective tape for pipes can be used for temporary storage protection of steel pipes with factory-applied FBE, 3LPE and 3LPP external coatings, subject to compatibility checks and project requirements. When correctly applied, the wrapping layer helps limit moisture ingress around protected transition areas.

    The tape has a nominal thickness of 0.15 mm and is available in widths from 75 mm to 150 mm. A typical 50% overlap creates a double-layer wrap across the covered area. Additional layers may be applied according to the project specification.

    SLAA supplies PVC pipe tape for industrial buyers and distributors. Contact us with your pipe coating system, storage conditions and required roll dimensions to discuss product suitability and supply options.

FAQ:

Q1: What is PVC pipe wrap tape used for?
A: PVC pipe wrap tape is used for pipe wrapping, surface protection and temporary pipe-end sealing during storage. No.160 can also protect suitable coating cutback and transition areas on coated steel pipes.
Q2: Can No.160 be used on FBE-, 3LPE- and 3LPP-coated pipes?
A: These coating systems are identified in the product documentation as potential applications. Confirm compatibility with the specific coating, surface condition, storage environment and removal requirements before use.
Q3: Can I use pipe wrap tape for leaks?
A: No.160 is intended for surface protection and temporary storage sealing. The listed specifications do not establish suitability for repairing active leaks or containing internal pipe pressure. Select a repair system rated for the pipe material, fluid, pressure and temperature involved.
Q4: Is No.160 a waterproof pipe sealing tape?
A: No.160 offers moisture resistance and can help limit moisture ingress around properly wrapped pipe-end and coating transition areas. The supplied specifications do not establish a pressure-tight or immersion-rated waterproof seal.
Q5: Can I use PVC pipe wrap tape for plumbing?
A: It may be considered for external surface protection in suitable plumbing applications after checking material compatibility and exposure conditions. The supplied specifications do not establish approval for pressure-leak repair or direct contact with drinking water.
Q6: Is PVC pipe insulation wrap suitable for thermal insulation?
A: The term β€œPVC pipe insulation wrap” can refer to different products. No.160 is a thin protective wrapping tape; the listed specifications do not establish thermal insulation performance. If heat retention or condensation control is required, specify an appropriate pipe insulation system.
Q7: What overlap should I use when wrapping pipes?
A: The typical overlap is 50%, creating two layers across the covered area. Follow the project specification for the required overlap and number of layers.
Q8: Can the tape be removed before welding or field joint coating?
A: The product documentation describes removal with little or no adhesive residue under suitable conditions. Check removal performance after the intended storage period, then complete the required surface preparation before further work.
Q9: Is the tape resistant to chemicals?
A: No.160 offers resistance to oils, acids and alkalis. Verify compatibility with the actual chemical, its concentration, contact duration and operating temperature before use.
Q10: How do I source from a PVC pipe wrap tape manufacturer or supplier?
A: Contact SLAA with your required width, roll length, quantity, pipe material and coating system. Include storage conditions, expected protection duration and any technical requirements so that product suitability and quotation details can be confirmed.
