VISCOMASTIC Series

VISCOMASTIC

VISCOPASTE is a low viscous, amorphous, a-polar solid polyolefin coating in paste form used for the protection of under- and aboveground pipeline related substrates against corrosion such as flanges, bolts, valves and for sealing casing ends against water infiltration. VISCOPASTE is a 2-layer system that is commonly used in combination with VISCOWRAP and a mechanical protective outer wrap that can be a PE, PVC or PU composite outer wrap.
