TRENTON #1 Wax-Tape

 

For Underground Applications

Trenton #1 Wax-Tape prevents corrosion on underground pipe, including wet and irregular surfaces. It requires no waiting time or drying time, can be backfilled immediately, and supports cathodic protection. Trenton #1 Wax-Tape is user friendly, contains no VOCs, is non-toxic, non-hazardous and non-carcinogenic. It provides excellent protection for a variety of applications, including couplings, valves, fittings, weld cutbacks and cadwelds.
Trenton #1 Wax-Tape is easily applied to small and large valves and bolts and provides long lasting protection.

#1 Wax-Tape is used in the water industry and conforms to AWWA Standard C217.

Rehabilitation and repair of coatings are made easy because of minimal surface preparation, compatibility, with other coatings, and immediate backfill.

The #1 Wax-Tape conforms to all types of fittings and irregular surfaces. It can also be applied to wet surfaces.

#1 Wax-Tape is provided in conveniently sized coreless rolls. Various widths and lengths are available.

  • Description: #1 Wax-Tape is a plastic-fiber felt, saturated with a blend of microcrystalline waxes, plasticizers and corrosion inhibitors, forming a tape wrapper. Ideal because of its excellent conformability over irregular surfaces.
  • End Use: For application on below ground metal surfaces, pipe or fittings to prevent corrosion.
  • Packaging: In rolls 4in. and 6 in. widths by 9ft. length. Special widths and lengths are available.

Advantages

  • Conforms to irregular shapes
  • Can be applied over wet surfaces
  • Superior wetting and adhesion properties
  • Composed of inert materials
  • Self-sealing lap seams
  • No drying or curing time before backfilling
  • Can be applied at low temperatures

TRENTON #2 Wax-Tape

For Above Ground Piping

Trenton #2 Wax-Tape prevents corrosion on above ground piping, bridge crossings, vaults, and other straight or irregular surfaces. It is easy to apply, requires no special equipment, is compatible with other coatings, and requires only minimal surface preparation. Non-toxic and non-carcinogenic, #2 Wax-Tape is composed of inert, non-biodegradable materials, so it is essentially unaffected by the elements.

#2A Wax-Tape completely conforms to irregular surfaces, and is unaffected by the elements.

#2A Wax-Tape provides long-lasting protection of bridge spans from UV, weathering and road salt runoff.

Wax-Tapes are applied with minimal surface preparation on wet, sweating pipe that may be found in vaults or meter stations.

  • Description: #2 Wax-Tape is a plastic-fiber felt, saturated with a blend of high melt microcrystalline wax, solvents, and corrosion inhibitors, forming a tape wrapper that firms up and is then suitable for painting.
  • End Use: For application of above ground piping, bridge crossings, vaults, and other straight or irregular surfaces to prevent corrosion.
  • Packaging: Packaging available in rolls of 4 in. or 6 in. width by 9 ft. length. Special widths and lengths are available as per customer requirements.

TRENTON Poly-Ply

TRENTON Poly-Ply

Poly-Ply plastic wrapper consists of three 50 gauge, clear, polyvinylidene chloride plastic, high cling membranes, wound together as a single sheet. It provides a mechanical and electrical barrier over graycoat while remaining flexible enough to conform to irregular shaped surfaces. It is inert and will not deteriorate, and is resistant to chemicals and bacteria commonly found in soil.

Material Safety Data Sheet Product Data Sheet

End Use:

As a wrap over cold-applied Graycoat or Temcoat coating on straight pipe and irregular metal surfaces such as T's and Couplings.

Application Procedures:

  • Pre-apply Graycoat or Temcoat coating and form Poly-Ply wrapper over the coated surface. An additional second coating of Graycoat or Temcoat can then be applied over the Poly-Ply for greater protection.

TRENTON TEMCOAT PRIMER

Temcoat is an anti-corrosive compound for use in high ambient temperatures. It is over-wrapped with Trenton Poly-Ply.

  • Description: TEMCOAT is a high temperature petrolatum wax coating compound that will not melt and can be applied at ambient temperatures up to 200° F. It does not require a primer or curing time and is easily hand applied.

  • End Use: TEMCOAT is used as an anti-corrosion compound for underground and under water metal surfaces. It is used as a mastic in cold-applied wax systems or as priming paste with wax tape systems. Because of its paste consistency over a wide temperature range, it is an excellent mastic for filling voids in both systems. It can be used for straight pipe, irregular fittings, and flat surfaces.

  • Packaging: 3 gallon pails (approx. 24 pounds/pail)

Advantages

  • Supports cathodic protection
  • Withstands high ambient temperatures
  • Goes on easily

Trenton Keyhole Patch Pad and Tools

Description:

The Trenton Keyhole Patch Pad and Tools enable utilities to apply a coating to a pipe surface through a small-diameter hole or keyhole. The components include two tools (attached to extendable poles) and a patch pad with pre-applied coating.

End Use:

The system is an excellent solution for applying a coating within a small-diameter hole over cadwelds or coating holidays.

Advantages:

  • Coating is pre-applied or hand-applied to pads
  • Non-hazardous, no VOCs
  • No waiting for drying or curing
  • Immediate backfill
  • Minimal surface preparation

Operating Procedures:

  • Wire brush and clean the surface of any loose coating, rust, scale and foreign matter.
  • Secure the extension handles (supplied by Trenton or by the utility) to the patch pad applicator and the finishing tool.
  • Attach a pre-coated patch pad to the applicator tool. (Or anticorrosion compound can be applied by hand directly to the bottom of a dry pad.)
  • The applicator tool, with the coated patch pad attached, is then lowered into the keyhole and onto the pipe surface to be protected.
  • Use the finishing tool to hold the patch pad to the pipe while lifting off the applicator tool and leaving the patch pad on the pipe.
  • Use the finishing tool to press the pad firmly to the pipe, making sure that coating compound is squeezed out on all edges and ensuring that the pad is firmly adhered.
  • The patch pad (with coating) now protects the pipe, and backfill can begin immediately.

Packaging:

  • Patch Pad: 4”, 6" or 5"×8" pad
  • Tools: Patch pad applicator and a finishing tool
