Product Information

Full details

ProSolve Petro Tape is designed for maintenance professionals, engineers, and DIY enthusiasts who need a reliable, long-term solution to protect metal assets from environmental corrosion. Its primary benefit is its highly durable, petrolatum-impregnated composition that remains flexible and resistant to water, chemicals, and gases in extreme environments. However, users should note that the compound can be tacky and messy to handle, necessitating the use of protective gloves during application.

FAQs

Can ProSolve Petro Tape be used underground?

Yes, it is designed for both above and below-ground applications and effectively resists moisture and soil-based chemicals.

Does this tape dry out over time?

No, the petrolatum-based compound is non-hardening, meaning it stays flexible and won't crack or peel over the years.

Do I need an adhesive primer before using this tape?

Generally, no. The tape is designed to stick directly to clean metal surfaces without the need for additional primers.

Is it resistant to acids and alkalis?

Yes, the tape is highly resistant to mineral acids, alkalis, and salt water.

How much overlap should I use when wrapping?

A minimum of 55% overlap is recommended to ensure a secure, uniform, and watertight seal.

What is the operating temperature range?

The tape performs reliably in temperatures ranging from -168 degrees to +110 degrees Celsius.

Troubleshooting

Tape is difficult to remove from the roll

Ensure the tape is stored at room temperature; extreme cold can make the backing stickier and harder to unroll.

Tape is not adhering well to the pipe

Check that the surface is clean, dry, and free of oil or loose debris before application.

Tape feels too messy during application

Use disposable gloves and apply a small amount of tension to keep the wrap tight, which prevents excessive contact with the hands.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Resists water, water vapor, and gases effectively
Extremely wide operating temperature range
Remains flexible without hardening or cracking
Easy to apply to irregular shapes and fittings

Cons

Material is sticky and can be messy to handle
Not suitable for load-bearing structural applications
Requires careful preparation of surface to ensure adhesion

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure maximum effectiveness, follow these guidelines for setup and care:

Surface Prep: Wire-brush the target surface to remove dirt, grease, and loose scale.
Application: Apply the tape in a spiral motion, keeping tension consistent. Always maintain at least a 50% overlap of the previous layer to guarantee a watertight seal.
Compatibility: Compatible with most metals including steel, iron, and copper. It is chemically inert and safe for use on various pipe coatings.
Handling: Because the tape is impregnated with a petrolatum compound, it will feel tacky. Wearing disposable nitrile or latex gloves is highly recommended for a cleaner application process.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the compound.
