Description
Trenton Wax-Tape® Primer is a blend of microcrystalline waxes, plasticizers, and corrosion inhibitors (no clay fillers). It has a paste-like consistency and is designed to displace moisture and wet the surface, ensuring a continuous anticorrosion film on the surface prior to wrapping with Wax-Tape® wrap. Wax-Tape Primer remains spreadable even in cold conditions. In high-temperature applications, Trenton Temcoat™ 3000 is the preferred primer.
End Use
As a surface conditioner for aboveground and belowground metal surfaces prior to application of Trenton Wax-Tape® #1 and #2 wraps.
Application Procedures
Wire brush and wipe the surface clean and as dry as possible. Apply the Wax-Tape Primer by hand, rubbing and pressing the primer firmly onto the surface, especially if the surface is wet, cold or rusty, to displace any moisture and ensure adhesion to the surface. Trenton Wax-Tape wraps may be applied immediately.
