A Visco-Elastic System for Pipeline Corrosion Protection.

ATVE ViscoTape™ is an effective pipeline corrosion protection coating designed for steel and coatings such as PE, PP and FBE. It is supplied in a roll form for an easy cold-applied application.

This specialized viscoelastic compound is formulated from non-crystalline, non-reactive stable materials for a permanent bond and for a long durable service. The polyethylene backing is fiber reinforced to provide excellent mechanical strength.  ATVE ViscoTape™ is suitable for above ground and buried pipelines and steel structures.

Viscoelastic Properties

The unique viscoelastic nature of the ATVE ViscoTape™ allows cold-flow of the adhesive to fill-in the irregularities of the substrate and also provides self-healing capability of the coating system. The compound remains flexible, bonded and conformed to the pipe.  The ViscoTape™ design forms an efficient barrier to water and oxygen for excellent corrosion protection.

Mechanical Properties

ATVE ViscoTape™ is complemented by an ATVE OuterWrap tape that provides additional impact and indentation resistance and also facilitates the self-healing of small defects in the coating.

Pipelines and Field Joints: Prevent external corrosion of above-ground, buried and immersed pipelines and field joints.
