Petrolatum tape for corrosion protection Petrolatum tape, also known as wax tape or anti-corrosion tape, is a type of tape used for corrosion protection on various surfaces, particularly metal pipes and structures. It is made of a flexible backing material coated with a petrolatum-based compound. Petrolatum tape is highly effective in preventing corrosion by providing a barrier against moisture, oxygen, and other corrosive elements. The petrolatum compound in the tape remains pliable, even in extreme temperatures, allowing it to conform to irregular surfaces and maintain a tight seal. To use petrolatum tape for corrosion protection, the surface should be clean and dry before applying the tape. The tape is wrapped tightly around the area of concern, overlapping the layers to ensure complete coverage. It can be applied to both above-ground and below-ground surfaces, as well as in marine environments. Petrolatum tape is commonly used in industries such as oil and gas, water…
