VISCOWRAP ST
Amorphous, Apolar, Visco-Elastic, Semi-Solid, Polyolefin Coating
for Moderate Temperatures

ViscoWrap ST is an amorphous, apolar, visco-elastic, semi-solid, polyolefin coating

Description for corrosion prevention of underground and aboveground substrates for moderate
temperatures. It is part of the Viscotaq coating system which consists of a corrosion
protective inner layer (ViscoWrap ST) and a mechanical protective outer layer. This
coating system offers exceptional corrosion prevention and waterproofing for a
variety of substrates.

• Coating for concrete, steel, PVC,

Uses metal, wood, vinyl, and other coatings
• Soil-to-air transitions
• Pipe, flanges, valves and fittings
• Girth welds
• Buried pipelines with minimal
surface preparation

• Impermeable to moisture and gases

Features • Immediate adhesion to substrate / permanent wetting characteristics
• No primer needed
• Easy to apply, no mixing or messy clean-up
• Minimal surface preparation required (SP2-wire brush)
• Excellent cathodic protection / low cathodic disbondment
• Self-healing characteristics
• Inert material, no deterioration over time
• Resistant to aggressive soil conditions such as water, acid, salts, or soil organics
• Quick long-term protective coating, ready for immediate service
• Contains no solvents, no carcinogens, non-toxic, non-flammable
• Contains fire retardant materials and self-extinguishing
• UV resistant and never cracks or becomes brittle
• Flexible, pliable, conforms to irregular shapes easily
• Freeze / thaw resistant
• Thermal resistance from -45°F to 158°F (-45°C to 70°C)
• Ability to fill voids and anomalies of substrate
• Meets NACE 0109:2019 and ISO 21809-3:2016

Surface preparation should include the following:
Surface Prep
• Surface inspected prior to application with any defects documented.
• Minimum surface preparation should be ST2/SSPC-SP2 (Hand Tool Clean).
• Once loose material are removed, clean surface with denatured alcohol or
acetone to remove any remaining dust, grease, and moisture.
• Surface of substrate should be 5°F (3°C) or greater above the dew point.
• Keep the working area clean and dry at all times. Avoid the presence of water.

Any adjacent coating should be roughened by means of sandpaper or a grinding

machine, if applicable. Suggested overlap onto the existing pipe coating is 4" for 30"
and smaller diameter and 6" for greater than 30" diameter.

ViscoWrap ST is applied in the following manner:

Application
• Remove the release liner and place the adhesive side onto the substrate (pipe).
• The initial wrap should be a straight circumferential wrap.
• Once completed, wrap the pipe with slight tension and a minimum of ½" overlap.
• Wrap at an angle to create a smooth overlap and to ensure no air pockets are
formed during wrapping.
• End wrapping with a straight circumferential wrap.
• For coating repairs and difficult to reach areas Viscowrap ST can be applied in
pieces, strips, or individual circumferential wraps (cigarette wrap).

After wrapping of ViscoWrap ST is completed, immediately begin wrapping over

the ViscoWrap ST with PE Outerwrap or PVC Outerwrap to complete the Viscotaq
Coating System. PE Outerwrap or PVC Outerwrap is applied in the following
manner:

• PE Outerwrap or PVC Outerwrap should be wrapped with tension and

a minimum of 50% overlap.
• The first and termination wraps should be a straight circumferential wrap.
• A ¼" section of ViscoWrap ST should still be visible at each end of the outer
wrap application.

Denso Glass Outerwrap™ can be used in place of or in addition to the PVC

Outerwrap or PE Outerwrap when additional mechanical protection is required.
Glass Outerwrap is applied in the following manner:

• Do not open the foil pouch until ready to apply product.

• Once ready to apply the Denso Glass Outerwrap, remove from the hermetically
sealed, foil pouch using protective gloves and place in room-temperature water
(salt or fresh) for 20-30 seconds. The roll should be immersed in water for a

longer time when the environment is cold and / or dry.
• Remove and begin wrapping the surface tightly, overlapping a recommended
50% (55% for severely corrosive environments).
• After wrapping is completed, immediately begin wrapping Denso Poly-Wrap™ the
same direction the layers of Denso Glass Outerwrap were applied to compress it
quickly and with tension applied.
• Overwrap each end of the Denso Glass Outerwrap by at least 2 inches (50 mm)
to ensure the ends lay flat and the resin is retained.
• Once compressed, use the Denso Perforating Tool to puncture the Denso
Poly-Wrap. This will allow for excess resin, moisture, and carbon dioxide from the
reaction to escape. Apply only enough pressure to puncture the Poly-Wrap and
not the layers of Glass Outerwrap.
• When the material has cured, the Denso Poly-Wrap may be removed. Cure can
be checked by using a Shore D gauge on a high point of the resin (avoid
measuring near ridges and fibers as the gauge tip can move). The product is
ready to be used at a Shore D of 65 or greater.

Cold Weather Installations: Follow normal procedure but add ethylene glycol in the
water to prevent freezing and to progress the curing process.

Hot Weather Installations: Follow normal procedure but use ice water to slow down
the curing process to allow more working time for installation.

Store in a dry, well-ventilated area between 40°F and 140°F (4°C to 60°C) in
Storage original, unopened containers. Shelf life is unlimited under these conditions. It is
recommended that all components be stored between 68°F to 86°F (20°C to 30°C)
for 24 hours prior to use for optimum product application characteristics.

Due to the adhesive nature of the product, release films / papers should be kept in
place during storage and whenever the material is placed on its side after removal
from the case.
