Description
Overview
SynthoGlass Petrolatum Tape Primer (PTP5.5) is a single-component, soft-paste corrosion inhibitor primer for pipeline and structural steel surface prep. It is the base coat under petrolatum corrosion-prevention tape systems, displacing moisture on the substrate and giving the outer wrap a clean, treated surface to bond to.
What It Does
- Inhibits corrosion on buried, submerged, and atmospheric-exposed pipe and steel
- Wets and displaces residual moisture on prepared substrates
- Penetrates surface irregularities and pitting for full-contact coverage
- Creates a non-curing, permanently soft barrier coat under petrolatum tape
Applications
- Pipeline corrosion proofing (oil and gas, water, wastewater)
- Buried valves, flanges, fittings, and bolted connections
- Splash-zone and tidal-zone marine steel
- Industrial structural steel and tank exteriors
- Repair and maintenance of existing corrosion-prevention tape systems

Surface Prep
Remove loose rust, scale, and old coating. Wire brush or scrape to clean tight metal. PTP5.5 tolerates damp surfaces but bond improves on a dry substrate. Apply by brush, gloved hand, or applicator into all pits, threads, and welds before wrapping.
