System description
Polyken 4000-35 PCS is a cold applied coating system designed for the corrosion protection of field joints, fittings, and specialty piping .This system does not require a primer or liquid adhesive. This versatile coating system can be applied by hand or with a wrapping machine.
Polyken 4000-35 PCS can be applied to wire brushed or sandblasted pipe surface. The high-tack butyl rubber adhesive is designed for high initial adhesion even during extreme cold weather applications. The tacky adhesive has a plastic release liner to enable proper unwinding of the roll. Coupled with the highly conformable polyethylene backing, the adhesive optimally flows, fills and instantaneously bonds to the substrate.
