IV.TAPE - INNERWRAP - CORROSION PROTECTION TAPEAsymmetrically structured three-ply plastics tape consisting of a stabilized polyethylene backing with plastic butyl rubber on
both sides. The consistency of the butyl rubber on the
one side facing the pipe surface should be formulated in such a way that, under tension, it flows on uneven steel surfaces. To facilitate correct application this butyl layer should be of a
black color. The grey butyl layer of the tape must face the steel and this should always be the thicker layer of butyl rubber.
In order to avoid delaminating tape must contain co-extruded intermediate layers.
The tape must be fully compatible with the properties of the primer. The tape must be self-amalgamating between the layers and at the overlaps and must have a release paper or film.

Tape widths 50 and 100 mm
b) Application with

Tape widths 50 and 100 mm
c) Application with
hand wrapping machine, roll
core diameter 78 mmTape length depending on pipe diameter
Tape widths 100 and 150 mm
d) Application with
motor driven wrapping machine, roll

VI.TAPE - OUTERWRAP - MECHANICAL PROTECTION TAPE Two-ply plastics tape consisting of a stabilized high density polyethylene backing with plastic butyl rubber on
one side. The outer wrap tape must be fully compatible with the properties of the inner wrap. The outer wrap must fully self-amalgamate with the inner wrap tape at contact areas.
In order to avoid delaminating between carrier film and butyl rubber, tape should contain co-extruded intermediate layers.
VII.TAPE SYSTEMTape system shall comply with EN 12068 (stress-class C-50) and DIN 30672 (stress-class C-50).

2 WRAPPING MACHINES To apply hand rolls with a 41 mm core diameter. - as per a), the hand wrapping machines must be able to automatically remove the release film from the three - ply tape during application, maintain constant overlap and tape tension.
To apply rolls with
78 mm plastics roll core diameter - as per c) and d) a sufficient quantity of wrapping machines must be quoted. These machines must be able to automatically remove the release film from the inner wrap tape, maintain constant overlap and give the necessary tape tension.
