System Description , Product Advantages
Polyken utility tape coating systems have a rich tradition in the pipeline industry since their introduction in 1950. Designed specifically for the gas utility, oil field, and plumbing industries, the polyethylene backing and butyl rubber adhesive are highly conformable and remain flexible over a wide temperature range., Established and proven performance
Conformable to irregular shapes.
Hand or machine application.
Exceeds LT 1512-A, LT-0077 & MIL I-7798 specifications.
Compatible with most generic plant coating systems.
System Products
Polyken #900: General utility tape designed for small diameter pipe applications on ells, fittings, field joints, and pipe sections. Highly conformable hand applied system for tight uniform protection on a wide variety of metal substrates., Polyken #910: All purpose field applied tape coating system for use in the oil patch and gas fields. Suited for hand application on a variety of steel structures common to the oil field. Frequently used for small makeshift repair and temporary corrosion protection for the small diameter pipe gathering systems.
