Polyisobutene (PIB) WSH Wrappingband

Wrappingband WSH is a corrosion preventing wrap material that is especially designed for application on wet and submerged tubular objects, and it can also be applied on dry substrates. It adheres very well to bare steel and existing coatings.

PIB Wrappingband WSH is based on a compound containing noncrystalline, low-viscosity, non-crosslinked, (fully amorphous) pure homopolymer PolyIsoButene. It is viscous at the indicated operating temperatures and, due to its liquid nature, flows into all irregularities of the substrate. The compound does not cure and is unable to build up internal stress.

Features:

Adheres to many types of coating like: PE, Neoprene and Epoxies
Controlled cold flow providing permanent inflow into the finest pores of the substrate
Resistant to low temperatures without getting brittle
Low surface tension; adheres on many types of dry and wet substrates at a molecular level
Adhering well to the surface in an environment with fresh, sea or condensed water on the surface
Constant film thickness
Adhesion based on vanderWaals forces

Benefits:

Safe to use
Fast and easy to apply
Easy to control application
no blasting techniques required
Conforms to irregular shapes
Surface tolerant:, wire brushing or high pressure water jetting is sufficient
