Petrolatum tape is a non-hardening and non-cracking corrosion protection wrap . It is highly resistant to mineral acids, alkalis, salts and micro-organisms and highly impermeable to water vapor and gases. Used for the protection of buried or exposed pipes, rods, cable, valves and metal fittings from corrosion.
It is composed of a non woven fibre fabric coated with a neutral compound based on saturated petrolatum and inert siliceous fillers.
