STOPAQ Wrappingband
STOPAQ® Wrappingband is a corrosion preventing wrap material adhering extremely well to steel and factory applied pipeline coatings like PE, Liquid Epoxies and FBE. It is capable of coating pipe at a wide range of temperatures and has products for above and below ground pipe.
Stopaq® Wrappingband is a non-toxic, cold-applied, prefabricated wrap coating, based on a compound containing non-crystalline, lowviscosity, non-crosslinked (fully amorphous), pure homopolymer polyisobutene.
Stopaq® Wrappingband is viscous at the indicated operating temperatures. Due to its liquid nature it has a set of unique properties, like cold-flow into all irregularities of the substrate, and self-healing of the complete coating system. The compound does not cure and is unable to build up internal stress. It is fully resistant to water, salt spray and UV-radiation, and has a low gas- and water vapour permeability.
Stopaq® Wrappingband requires application of a polymeric outerwrap like Stopaq® Outerwrap or Stopaq® High Impact Shield. This improves impact and indentation resistance of the coating system and supports the self-healing ability of small damages like dents and cuts. Optionally an additional mechanical protective layer can be applied on top like Stopaq® Polyester, or Stopaq® Outerglass Shield XT Grey.
- Controlled cold flow providing inflow into the finest pores of the
substrate. - Resistance to low temperatures without getting brittle.
- Conforms to irregular shapes.
- Low surface tension; adheres on many dry substrates at a molecular
level. - Surface tolerant: no blasting techniques required, wire brushing is
sufficient. (ISO 8501-1: St 2) - Constant film thickness.
- Adhesion based on vanderWaals forces.
- Self-healing of small dents, voids and cracks.
- Inert to ageing and weathering.
- Resistant to many chemicals like water, salts, acids, alkalis, polar
solvents, etc.
- Environmentally friendly, no health and safety hazards to humans.
- Very well suited for application on new-built pipes and for pipe coating rehabilitation.
- Fast and easy field application, especially under cold conditions.
- Can be moulded onto various types of irregular shaped objects.
- No osmosis or underfilm migration of moisture.
- No cathodic disbondment.
