Water Activated Tape

Product Description

Armor-wrap structural material,
With high strength and elasticity, is made from flexible fiberglass knit fabric tape saturated with water-activated polyurethane. After being water-activated it can createa rigid structure with high ability of anti-bending and anti-elongation, and chemicals-resistance. Armor wrap is used in emergency repair and protection of pipelines which carry water, gas and chemicals in civil and military industrial use. It has played an important role in the fields of power supply, chemicals transportation, marine and communication engineering by reducing losses caused by pipeline leaking or damage, and has become the necessary part in emergency repair and pipeline maintenance. The quality and the performance of our products have been proved excellent by some authoritative institutes and big customers.

Armor wrap is packed in aluminize foil pouch with nitrogen. It can be operated easily without requirement of extra equipment. The only step required is infusing water into the pouch and then wrapping it onto the cables or pipelines. The material will form a tough durable covering that sets in 10-15 minutes.

Use method:
1. Clean the cable or the damaged area of pipeline. Wear protective gloves and open the armor-wrap structure material pouch.
2. Infuse water into the pouch, press several times and take out the tape. Squeeze out excess water.

3. Start wrapping.
3.1. For pipeline leaking repairing, apply steel putty onto the leaking area. For other applications, skip this step.
3.2. For pipeline repairing, wrap the tape onto the steel putty. For cable reinforcement or pipeline maintenance, wrap the tape onto the cable loop by loop at an angle of 45 ° And make sure of 30~40% overlapping during the wrapping process. Press the tape to assist its molding according to the cable.
3.3. Reverse and fold the tape if necessary when wrapping onto the object with variational diameter.
3.4. Please make sure to wrap the tape exactly same as the picture blow. Press the tape end gently and it will auto-adhere to the previous loop/layer.

4. Wrap 4-8 layers. The number of layer is varied for different application.
5. It will be cured to form a rigid structure in 8-10 minutes and bear weight in 20-30 minutes. The structure will totally set within 24 hours.
