1100, 1100P
Vinyl Corrosion Protection Tape
Product Description
Temflex™ 1100 and 1100P (Printed)
tapes are made of tough, polyvinyl
chloride (PVC), expecially formulated
for corrosion protection of pipes,
conduits and metallic cable jackets.
They are easy to apply and provide
excellent protection against abrasion,
puncture, corrosion and electrolytic
action both above and below ground.
These tapes resist corrosion caused by
acids (e.g. sulfuric, hydrochloric,
phosphoric), alkalies and other
corrosive materials, including
compounds of chlorine, bromine,
sodium and lithium. They also resist
salt water and sunlight.
Features include:
Resistance to galvanic and electrolytic
action
Excellent abrasion resistance
Good impact and tear resistance
Resistance to weather–induced
cracking and checking
High electrical strength
Excellent insulation resistance

Installation Techniques
Clean and dry surface to be wrapped.
Remove all oil and grease using a rag
and suitable solvent. Remove weld
beads and cover with one layer of
Temflex™ Corrosion Protection Tape
before spiral wrapping. Clean old or
superficially rusted pipe with wire
brush or sand blast before priming
with Scotchrap™ Pipe Primer. Void
areas and sharp edges are to be
padded with Scotchrap™ Pipe
Insulation Putty and covered with one
layer of Temflex™ Corrosion
Protection Tape before spiral
wrapping. Temflex™ Tape should be
spirally wrapped the length of the pipe
using one–half lap for double
thickness. If pipe is to be buried,
application of a coating of
Scotchrap™ Pipe Primer is
recommended before tape is applied.
Under severe backfilling conditions,
rock shield or roofing felt may be
used as additional protection.
