TRENTON Wax-Tape HT-3000

For Underground Applications

Trenton Wax-Tape® HT-3000
high-temperature anticorrosion wrap is a specially formulated wax-based wrap used for corrosion protection of metal pipe and fixtures experiencing higher than normal temperatures. When used in combination with Trenton Temcoat™ 3000 primer, this easy-to-apply wrap delivers highly effective and durable corrosion protection to bare or coated surfaces in a wide range of field conditions.

End Use:
Wax-Tape HT-3000 wrap can be applied and will perform effectively at continuous operating temperatures of up to 230°F (110°C) and is designed for use in aboveground and belowground applications.

Ease of use:
•Quick and easy to apply, with minimal equipment requirements
• Can be applied to surfaces with minimal preparation
(SSPC SP2 or ISO St2)
• Can be applied in high-moisture conditions
• Can be applied at “in-service” temperatures
• No cure time – ready for immediate backfill after application
•Non-toxic – no Volatile Organic Components (VOCs)

Proven durability and performance of Trenton Wax-Tape Systems:
• Trenton Wax-Tape® anticorrosion wrap systems have over three decades of successful field performance
• May be used aboveground or belowground (UV resistant)
• Resistant to acid, salts, and other soil organics over a wide
range of pH
• High dielectric strength
•Excellent resistance to cathodic disbondment

Application Procedures:
Surface Preparation:
• Remove all loose rust, scale, paint, ice, dirt and other
foreign matter with a wire brush (SSPC SP2, ISO St 2).
Wipe surface dry, if possible.

Tape and Primer Application:
• Coat pipe surface with Trenton Temcoat™ 3000 primer by
hand, ensuring an even, continuous film of primer over all exposed metal surfaces to be wrapped.
• With a downward-facing starting point, wrap Trenton
Wax-Tape® HT-3000 wrap onto pipe in a spiral pattern
using a minimum 1” overlap. When wrapping, apply
tension and press the wrap onto surface.
• After wrapping, rub the entire surface of the wrap to
remove any air bubbles and to smooth the surface.
Press the overlap seams and ensure they are sealed and
tapered, especially on each end of wrap application.
• If ambient work site temperatures are below 50°F, keep
wrap warm before application.
• Trenton MCO™ outerwrap should be used for applications
requiring substantial mechanical protection or where
contact with the sticky exterior might be a problem.
