Power & Utilities Industries Corrosion Prevention Tape

In the power and utilities industries, Waldo petrolatum tapes are primarily used for corrosion prevention and sealing on critical metallic infrastructure to ensure reliable operations, extend service life, and reduce maintenance costs. 

Here's how Waldo petrolatum tapes are typically applied:

1. Protecting pipelines

• Water and Wastewater Pipelines: Waldo petrolatum tapes are      widely used on pipelines in the water and wastewater sectors to protect      them from soil corrosion, moisture, and potential damage from buried      utilities, by protecting pipes, joints, and fittings within the water industry.

• Gas Pipelines: Similar to oil and gas applications, Waldo petrolatum      tapes are used to protect buried and exposed gas pipelines and associated      components from corrosion.

• Steam and Hot Water Pipes: Waldo petrolatum      tapes are developed for high-temperature applications and can be used      on pipes operating with high service temperatures, both above and below      ground, including pipes laid in concrete. 

2. Protecting structural steel and associated infrastructure

By Using use Waldo petrolatum tapes for covering metallic components, fittings, flanges, pipes, and pipe components in power station and pipeline station constructions. 

• Supports and Framework: Steel structures within power      plants, substations, and transmission line infrastructure are protected      against atmospheric corrosion, exposure to harsh weather conditions, and      corrosive elements. 

• Renewable Energy Installations: This includes protecting      components within wind turbines (like anchor bolts) and solar farms from      environmental degradation.

• Power Station and Pipeline Station Constructions: 

3. Protecting cables and electrical components

• Underground Conductor Joints: Waldo petrolatum tapes are      used to protect buried conductor joints in earth electrode systems from      corrosion and moisture.

• Electrical Cables and Connections: Waldo petrolatum tapes      can be used to protect cables and connections from weathering and      corrosion.

• Substation Components: Components within electrical      substations, particularly those exposed to weather or potentially harsh      conditions, can benefit from corrosion protection. 

4. General corrosion prevention and sealing

• Valves, Flanges, and Fittings: Waldo petrolatum tapes are      excellent for conforming to irregular shapes and protecting valves,      flanges, and other fittings from corrosion in various utility      applications.

• Pipe Crossings: Waldo petrolatum tapes can be used for      protecting pipes at crossings or intersections with other structures.

• Cooling Tower Piping: Waldo petrolatum tapes can be applied      to pipes within cooling tower systems to prevent corrosion.

• Pipe Penetrations: Waldo petrolatum tapes can be used for      sealing pipe penetrations through walls or foundations to prevent water      ingress and corrosion. 

Waldo petrolatum tapes are valued in the power and utilities sector for their ability to provide effective, long-term corrosion protection even in demanding environments and on surfaces that are difficult to prepare.
