Denso Tape
All Purpose Petrolatum Tape

Denso Tape is composed of a non-woven synthetic fabric carrier, fully impregnated with a neutral
Description compound based on saturated petrolatum and inert siliceous fillers.

Denso Tapes are designed to withstand extreme temperature variations. The tapes provide long
Uses term corrosion protection to pipes, flanges, valves and related surfaces.

Prepare surfaces by removing all loose scale, rust or other foreign matter in accordance to
Application SSPC SP2 “Hand Tool Cleaning” or SP3 “Power Tool Cleaning”. High pressure water wash
of 3,000 - 7,000 psi (20.68 - 48.26 MPa) is also suitable. Apply a thin film of Denso MP
Primer. Spirally wrap the tape with a 55% overlap. While wrapping, press air pockets out
and smooth all lap seams.

Irregular surfaces such as valves, flanges, etc. may require the use of Denso Mastic or Denso
Profiling Mastic. Denso PVC Tape (below ground) or Denso Sirex Tape (above ground) is applied as
an outerwrap for mechanical protection. Refer to the product sheets for these specific products for
