Description
MCO® outerwrap is a specialized blend of quick curing resins impregnated into a fiberglass fabric. It provides soil stress and backfill protection to coatings that need additional mechanical strength. MCO outerwrap is specifically designed as a “hard shell” outerwrap over the Trenton Wax-Tape® wraps. It can also be used over other coatings. It is sold complete with gloves and Trenton MCO outerwrap end adhesive. MCO outerwrap is hand applied, with no other application materials needed.
End Use
MCO outerwrap is used aboveground or belowground as a mechanical protective wrapper over Trenton’s Wax-Tape® wraps.
Application Procedures
Pre-apply any of Trenton’s coatings and then, with only enough tension to keep the slack out, spiral wrap MCO outerwrap with at least a 50% overlap (use 80% overlap when needed in high stress areas such as transition pipe in clay soils). Make sure MCO outerwrap is extended out past the new coating on both ends for better anchoring. At the end of the last roll, brush on MCO outerwrap end adhesive to prevent possible unraveling before the wrap has cured.
