Product Description

Polypropylene Cold-Wrapped Anti-Corrosion Elbow: Production and Processing Range φDN80—ΦDN1800

Polypropylene cold-wrap tape is a new type of environmentally friendly anti-corrosion product that is pollution-free and harmless, representing the highest current international and domestic standards for cold-wrap anti-corrosion tapes. It is famously known as the "King of Anti-Corrosion." This tape can be widely used in water supply and drainage systems, as well as in the transportation of oil, gas, and coal gas through steel pipelines and underground steel storage tanks in the petroleum, natural gas, chemical, and urban construction industries. It has been designated by the Ministry of Construction and the State Environmental Protection Administration as a recommended alternative to "asphalt-glass fiber cloth" and "epoxy coal tar." It features easy application, high impact resistance, excellent aging resistance, superior tensile strength, resistance to ultraviolet radiation, and strong bonding performance.

The product’s base material is a unique modified polypropylene woven fiber fabric, with a corrosion-resistant adhesive layer made of butyl rubber-modified asphalt. The fiber-based substrate effectively resists creep damage caused by soil stresses. Aging tests have demonstrated that its corrosion resistance lifespan exceeds 50 years. All tested performance indicators significantly surpass the requirements of the SY/T0414—2007 standard and fully meet the specifications set forth by the U.S. ANSI/AWWAC209-00 and NACE MR0274-95 standards. It is the preferred choice for cold-applied anti-corrosion tapes for pipelines and represents an excellent cost-performance option for corrosion protection.

II. Instructions for Use:

(1) Steel pipe surface treatment: Remove rust, weld slag, burrs, oil, and contaminants, and ensure the surface is clean and dry. Manual rust removal shall meet the St3 grade, while mechanical rust removal shall achieve the Sa2 grade.
(2) Applying Primer: Use a dedicated, matching primer. Keep away from sources of ignition during application. Stir thoroughly and apply evenly using a clean brush, roller, or other mechanical method. Primer consumption rate: 12 m²/L for manual application; 20 m²/L for mechanical application.
(3) Once the primer has surface-dried (typically after 5–10 minutes), you can start wrapping the tape.
(4) Backfilling into the trench: Once the quality inspection and acceptance are passed, you may proceed with backfilling into the trench.

III. Transportation and Storage:

(1) During transportation, the tape should be protected from exposure to sunlight, rain, and compression that could cause deformation.
(2) If the material is exposed to freezing below 5℃ during transportation or storage, it must be stored at around 20℃ for 48 hours before construction can proceed.
(3) Store in a cool warehouse with a temperature range of 5–30°C and a relative humidity below 75%. The shelf life is 12 months. Keep away from heat sources and open flames.

Steel pipe polypropylene 3PP anti-corrosion

2PP/3PP Anti-corrosion Steel Pipe Specifications: Φ89mm–Φ3200mm Material: Q235B, Q345B, 10# Steel, 20# Steel, Grades X42–X80 Standards: SY/T7041-2016, DIN30678 Advantages of the Anti-corrosion Coating The three-layer polyethylene anti-corrosion coating combines the excellent properties of both epoxy coatings and extruded polyethylene coatings. It integrates the interfacial characteristics and chemical resistance of epoxy coatings with the mechanical protection features of extruded polyethylene coatings, significantly enhancing the performance of each component. Therefore, it serves as an outstanding external protective layer for buried pipelines. According to relevant data, the three-layer PE coating can extend the service life of buried pipelines up to 50 years and is currently recognized internationally as one of the most advanced pipeline external anti-corrosion technologies. In 3PE anti-corrosion systems, the three-layer PE coating has been first applied in oil and gas systems. The Shaanxi-Beijing natural gas pipeline and the Kuerle-Shanshan oil pipeline—both already completed in China—along with the nearly 4,000-kilometer West-to-East Gas Pipeline project, all utilize the three-layer PE external anti-corrosion coating. Additionally, the 67-kilometer high-pressure pipeline from Shaanxi to Tianjin, the 30-kilometer outer ring high-pressure natural gas pipeline, and the 122-kilometer pipeline of the Shaanxi-Beijing underground gas storage facility also employ the three-layer PE coating. As such, the three-layer PE coating has become the leading direction for the future development of external anti-corrosion coatings for pipelines. Applications: The product is widely used in oil pipelines, natural gas pipelines, heating pipelines, and water supply pipelines. Application Scope: Currently, China has not yet established an industry standard for 3PP coatings. Therefore, the 3PP anti-corrosion pipelines produced generally follow the German standard DIN30678 “Polypropylene Coatings for Steel Pipelines.” The 3PP coating is primarily used as an anti-corrosion layer for pipelines transporting media at relatively high temperatures, as well as for pipelines located in desert regions characterized by high surface temperatures and prolonged sunlight exposure. Consequently, it has gained increasingly widespread application on buried water, gas, and oil pipelines in areas with high surface temperatures and long periods of sunlight.

Polyurea anti-corrosion coating for steel pipes

The future development of polyurea-coated anti-corrosion steel pipes: Polyurea coatings represent the international trend in next-generation anti-corrosion technology. Currently, major pipeline companies worldwide have adopted polyurea anti-corrosion coatings—for instance, the oil pipelines in Alaska, USA; the Gulf oil pipeline in Indonesia; the Siberian oil pipeline in Russia; and the water transmission pipelines in Kuwait—all of which use polyurea as their anti-corrosion coating. Superiorities of Polyurea-Coated Anti-Corrosion Steel Pipes: Polyurea-coated anti-corrosion steel pipe materials exhibit excellent construction performance when used for pipeline joints. Typically, straight pipe sections are prefabricated in the factory, while joints are connected on-site via spray application. After polyurea treatment, the pipeline maintains outstanding continuity and integrity, ensuring that the entire pipeline system is completely sealed with no seams, thereby guaranteeing its overall anti-corrosion performance and ultra-long service life. Key Features of Polyurea-Coated Anti-Corrosion Steel Pipes: Fast curing speed, allowing for seamless application on vertical and curved surfaces without sagging; excellent corrosion resistance, capable of withstanding erosion by most chemical media; superior physical properties, providing strong adhesion to metal substrates; 100% solid content, non-polluting, and environmentally friendly; seamless coating, completely eliminating the risk of leakage points. Main Applications of Polyurea-Coated Anti-Corrosion Steel Pipes: Overhead pipelines, directly buried pipelines, oil pipelines, gas pipelines, municipal sewage pipelines, and various types of steel pipelines—both internal and external wall anti-corrosion. Future Development of Polyurea-Coated Anti-Corrosion Steel Pipes: Polyurea coatings represent the international trend in next-generation anti-corrosion technology. Currently, major pipeline companies worldwide have adopted polyurea anti-corrosion coatings—for instance, the oil pipelines in Alaska, USA; the Gulf oil pipeline in Indonesia; the Siberian oil pipeline in Russia; and the water transmission pipelines in Kuwait—all of which use polyurea as their anti-corrosion coating. According to international standards, all underground metal pipelines employ a combined protection approach involving an anti-corrosion coating and cathodic protection. Among these, the pipeline anti-corrosion coating serves as the primary barrier. The 3PE anti-corrosion coating, which integrates the advantages of high-density polyethylene wrapping and fusion-bonded epoxy powder, is now widely used. However, its main drawback—the unresolved issue of joint repairs—remains a challenge. The heat-shrink sleeves currently used do not match well with the 3PE coating, significantly reducing the service life of the system.
