Basic Use
    High temperature tape for above and below ground pipeline corrosion protection.

Tapecoat 6025 Gray High Temperature tape with a MAF® backing is designed to protect above and below ground pipe fittings, tanks, insulated steam lines, and other metal surfaces from corrosion and electrolysis. This protective coating performs well over a wide range of in-service temperatures up to as high as 250°F (121°C) in constant or peak load operating conditions. Tapecoat 6025 Gray may be applied to new pipelines and to pipelines in service and operating at elevated temperatures.,
Composition

Tapecoat 6025 Gray is composed of a specifically formulated MAF® backing and a synthetic elastomeric, temperature resistant coating.

Surface Preparation

Surface must be clean and dry. SSPC-SP3 Power Tool Cleaning is recommended to remove any loose rust and scale, dust or dirt. Oil, grease and all other residue are to be removed from pipe surface per SSPC-SP1 Solvent Cleaning. SSPC-SP6 Commercial Blast Cleaning is also acceptable.

Priming: If operating temperatures do not exceed 180°F (85°C) TC Omniprime is the primer of choice. TC 7000 Epoxy has been developed specifically for use with Tapecoat 6025 Gray when service temperatures are between 180°F and 250°F (85121 °C). Either primer may be hand applied by brush or roller. Let TC Omniprime or TC 7000 Epoxy dry before applying Tapecoat 6025 Gray.

Tape Application: Tapecoat 6025 Gray is applied by hand, with the Tapecoat Hand Wrapster #3, or by plant or over-the-ditch tape wrapping methods. Tapecoat 6025 Gray is spirally wrapped in two layers. Wrapping tension is to be maintained to obtain conformability of the tape to the surface being coated.
