Trenton #2 Wax-Tape provides long-lasting corrosion protection for above-ground metal surfaces, pipes or fittings to prevent corrosion. It is recommended when abrasive blasting or painting are impractical. It resists weathering and UV without the need for an additional outer coat or outer wrap. It is a non-woven, non-stitch bonded synthetic fabric, saturated with a blend of microcrystalline wax, solvents and corrosion inhibitors (no clay fillers), forming a tape wrapper that firms up and is suitable for painting.

Minimal surface preparation

Readily conforms to irregular shapes

Non-toxic, non-carcinogenic, low VOCs

Resists corrosive industrial atmospheres

Can be applied over wet surfaces

Compatible with other coatings

Tape firms up and does not require additional outer coat or outer wrap

Excellent resistance to weathering and UV

Can be painted after firming up

Wire brush and scrape the surface clean of loose mill scale, rust, paint and other foreign matter. Apply a thin film of Wax-Tape Primer. If the surface is wet, cold or rusty, then rub and press on primer firmly to displace the moisture and ensure adhesion. Then wrap #2 Wax-Tape using a 1” overlap. While wrapping, press and mold the tape into conformity, ensuring that there are no air pockets or voids, so that the tape is in intimate contact with the surface. Also, press and smooth out lap seams to ensure that they are sealed. If the tape is going to be painted, allow a few days for it to firm up.
