VISCOTAQ® is a viscous elastic pipeline technology
coating that is used for corrosion prevention of underground and above ground
substrates in the pipeline industry, storage tanks, soil to air transitions,
above ground flanges, pipe crossings and in the ditch applications. VISCOTAQ®
also offers a unique waterproofing line of products to stop water infiltration at
pipe casings, buildings and more.
VISCOTAQ® products have been tested extensively by
external laboratories, international oil and gas companies as well as in field
trials and are approved by major international oil & gas companies with
significant track records all over the world.
The VISCOTAQ® products differentiate from any other
product by being a synthetic viscous elastic solid, combining excellent
adhesion based upon the Van Der Waals bonding principle, while being a solid
with no dripping behavior. VISCOTAQ® has a low surface tension and keeps
“wetting” the surface. Due to the viscous-elastic state and its formulation,
VISCOTAQ® will keep this bond permanently for decades to come. VISCOTAQ® bonds
aggressively to almost any surface and is forgiving when it comes to surface
preparation. The minimum surface preparation for use is ST-2/SSPC3, although a
blasted surface SA2½/SSPC10 is strongly recommended.
