PetroWrap
PetroWrap: Anti-Corrosion System Overview
Corrosion is one of the most serious challenges in waterworks and industrial infrastructure. Moisture, salts, and soil conditions can quickly damage buried or exposed metal, leading to costly failures and service disruptions. Petrowrap is a proven anti-corrosion tape system designed to stop corrosion before it starts.
Petrowrap is cold-applied, easy to install, and provides long-term protection for pipelines, valves, flanges, and fittings. It creates a flexible, self-sealing barrier that conforms to irregular shapes and stays in place for decades.
What is Petrowrap?
Petrowrap is a petrolatum-based protective system that includes:
- Primer – displaces moisture and prepares the surface for wrapping.
- Filler (Mastic) – fills voids and irregularities to ensure a tight seal.
- Tape – a fabric-reinforced wrap that blocks water, oxygen, and contaminants.
- Optional Overwrap – adds mechanical strength and surface protection.
This system is designed to resist cracking, peeling, or hardening, even under harsh conditions.
Key Features and Benefits
- Reliable Corrosion Protection – Guards against water, salts, alkalis, and acids.
- Cold-Applied – No curing time, heating, or special equipment required.
- Flexible and Conforming – Ideal for irregular shapes like valves, joints, and flanges.
- Durable – Will not crack, peel, or harden over time.
- Compliant – Meets AWWA C217 and CSA Z245.30 protective coating standards.
- Cost-Effective – Extends service life and reduces repair and replacement costs.
Applications
Petrowrap is suitable for a wide range of waterworks and industrial uses:
- Municipal pipelines
- Valve assemblies
