APPLICATION PROCEDURE OF PYPKOTE (4MM)
a) Surface Preparation -
The pipe surface shall be cleaned by a wire brush.
b) Application of Pypkote Primer -
Pypkote primer is to be applied on pipes immediately after cleaning. This is to
prevent any further accumulation of rust on the pipe. Pypkote primer is a cold applied
primer and is applied by brush.
c) Application of Pypkote 4mm Tape -
After the primer is applied on the pipe, it is allowed to dry for about 30 min. till it
becomes touch dry. Before adhering the tape to the pipe, it is advisable to gently
heat the primer coated pipe by a run of LPG torch. Remove the bottom
polyethylene from the tape & then heat bottom surface of the tape by LPG Torch or
any heat source & start wrapping the tape to the pipe. By heating the primer coated
pipe & by removing the bottom polyethylene from the tape before wrapping, better
adhesion between the tape & pipe is obtained. Overlaps are maintained with a
minimum of 12.5mm.

The tape is applied over the weld joints after the necessary welding & testing
methods of the joints is completed. The procedure for application of tape shall be
the same as bare pipe procedure. Overlaps on each side of the weld joints shall be
50mm.
e) A final coat of White wash with water based cement paint is done immediately over
the entire coated pipe.
