Pipe Wrap

APPLICATIONINSTRUCTIONS

SURFACE PREPARATION The external surface of pipe shall be thoroughly cleaned to remove rust, dirt, dust, moisture, grease, oil, mill scale, welding splatter, slivers, scabs, foreign substances etc., using appropriate tools & methods. Presence of moisture on pipe, if any shall be removed by warming the pipe surface using gas torch. 

SURFACE PRIMING On prepared surface, apply a coat of quick drying anti-corrosive synthetic primer TIKI PRIME (SY) compatible with TIKIDAN PIPE WRAP8m2 to 10 m2 per litre (approx.) uniformly covering and wetting the pipe surface to promote adhesion of TIKIDAN PIPE WRAP.  

APPLICATION As soon as the prime coat is dry, TIKIDAN PIPE WRAP is installed using Torch On Method. Depending upon the diameter of pipe, TIKIDAN PIPE WRAP is wrapped around the pipe in spiral / ciga rette method and bonded completely to the primed surface by thermos fusion hot process. TIKIDAN PIPE WRAP rolls of required width is installed while maintaining proper overlaps (12mm or 50 Percent of width).

Leave pipes untreated 150mm to 200mm from ends on either side to facilitate welding. Maintaining the alignment of pipe wrap, its underside should be warmed using gas torch to soften the coating compound.

When underside heating of pipe wrap shows shiny coating surface, it should be roll forwarded and wrapped under sufficient tension to ensure good adhesion. The pipe wrap should be pressed firmly from above against the pipe surface to obtain superior and permanent bonding and prevent air pockets / holidays beneath the applied pipe wrap.

SUPPLY The pipe wrap is supplied in roll size of 1m x 10m in varying widths and 2mm, 3mm and 4mm thickness. 

PROTECTION In order to prevent damage from U.V. light, the pipes coated with TIKIDAN PIPE WRAP should not be left open exposed to Sun light for more than 5 days. In the event of exposure for more than 5 days, it should be protected by temporary coverings, such as craft paper, white wash etc. This prevents excessive heating of the pipe wrap surface arising out of absorption of solar radiation and its U.V. degradation. 

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS As with all sheet products, care should be taken during use and storage of TIKIDAN PIPE WRAP.
