Tapecoat®
Moldable Sealant

Watertight, conformable coating for
corrosion protection
of irregular surfaces

Basic Use
Tapecoat Moldable Sealant is a
conformable water tight coating for irregular surfaces, such as bolt
style mechanical couplings, bell and spigot joints, saddle tees or leak
clamps; as a sealant in vaults, on underground tracer wire and other low
voltage manual wire connections, on anode wire connections, as an
insulating adhesive with shrinkable tubing.
Composition
Tapecoat Moldable Sealant is a 100%
solids formulation of thermoplastic elastomeric and synthetic resins.
Blended in this adhesive is an “integrated primer.”

Application
Surface Preparation
Surface must be clean and dry. Moisture,
dust, dirt, rust or other foreign matter should be removed by scraping
or wire brushing. Remove oil and grease, etc, with suitable detergent.
Optional cleaning method SSPC 6 Commercial Blast.
Application
- Priming: Because TC-Moldable
Sealant comes with an "integrated primer" built into the adhesive,
liquid primer may not be required. TC Omniprime Primer has boon
developed specifically for use with Moldable Sealant. The coverage is
approximately 300 square feet per gallon. Let TC Omniprime dry to a
tacky consistency before applying Moldable Sealant.
- Sealant Application: Remove the
release liner on one side of the moldable sealant and apply to the
surface to be protected. Remove the remaining liner and use it as an aid
in molding the sealant until all voids and crevasses have been filled.
Liner may then be used as an overwrap for additional mechanical
protection.
