Guard-Wrap™ Outerwrap

Description

Trenton Guard-Wrap being applied to a pipelineGuard-Wrap™ consists of a spunbonded polyester mat, saturated with microcrystalline wax that is laminated to a polyester film which is coated with microcrystalline wax. Its conformability makes it ideal for wrapping fittings. It also works well on straight pipe.

End Use

It is used as a protective wrapper over Innercoat® and provides mechanical strength against backfill stress while also contributing an added dielectric barrier.

Application Procedure

Pre-apply Innercoat® to the pipe surface and then spiral wrap or cigarette wrap Guard-Wrap over the Innercoat. Guard-Wrap can be used as a “granny rag”. Guard-Wrap can also be dipped in hot Innercoat and applied in pieces to irregular surfaces that have been previously coated.
