| DESCRIPTION | Tapecoat Color Coat is a 60 mil VOC Exempt, UV resistant, cold applied, self hardening, wax based tape designed to protect piping and metal structures from damage and deterioration caused by corrosion. These multi-environment coatings are appropriate for use above or below grade, in dry, damp or wet operating conditions. The Color Coat encapsulates the surface in order to protect it, this allows for easy inspection of the substrate and repair of the coating. The tape is used with the Color Coat Primer which completely wets out the substrate surface and displaces any moisture. Color Coat is durable, aesthetically pleasing and available in a wide variety of colors including a full range of Safety Code colors. These colors include Gray, White, Yellow, Blue, Green, Red and Black |
| SUBSTRATE COMPATIBILITY | Steel, Stainless Steel, Ductile Iron, Other Metals, FBE, PE, PP, Concrete |
| RECOMMENDED USE | Ideal for protecting structures such as bridge crossings, riser pipe, flanges, valves, and all types of piping and metal structures. Especially suited for vaults and close quarter applications because it is virtually odorless |
| SURFACE PREPARATION | SSPC SP-2 Hand Tool Cleaning, SSPC SP-3 Power Tool Cleaning or SSPC SP-6/ NACE No. 3 Commercial Blast Cleaning |
| PRIMER | Tapecoat Color Coat requires a primer to ensure maximum effectiveness of the system. Apply a minimum of 4 mils of Tapecoat Color Coat Primer using a gloved hand or by mechanical means. The Color Coat can be applied immediately following the primer application |
| OPTIONAL OUTERWRAP | For increased abrasion resistance the Color Coat can be wrapped with Tapecoat Rugged Wrap. This coating is a fiberglass saturated with a moisture curing urethane. When activated with water the Rugged Wrap forms a hard, UV resistant shell protecting. Rugged Wrap is available in the same colors as the Color Coat |
| REFERENCE | Color Coat and the Color Coat Primer together meet all of the performance criteria listed in the most recent revisions of: NACE RP0375 (Cold-Applied Wax-Tape Coating System) ANSI/AWWA C217 |
