Description
Fully Coated Aluminum Tape for TIG Pipe Purging
Aquasol EZ Tape is a fully coated aluminum foil tape for sealing a pipe root gap during purge welding, temporarily closing pipe ends for transport, and general industrial sealing. Its soft foil is intended to conform to irregular stainless steel, aluminum and similar surfaces when full-surface adhesion is required.
For fabrication teams in the USA and Canada, EZ Tape helps contain purge gas at the weld joint while the approved purging procedure removes oxygen. It is quote-only: request current roll availability and delivery support for your application.
Why Choose EZ Tape?
- Full adhesive coating: pressure-sensitive adhesive across the foil provides broad contact on the surface.
- Conformable aluminum foil: follows uneven pipe and work surfaces more readily than a rigid covering.
- Purge and protection uses: suitable for root-gap gas containment, temporary pipe-end closure, and vapor-barrier work where the application is appropriate.
- High-temperature material limits: adhesive is rated to 500°F (260°C); the aluminum foil portion is rated to 1100°F (593°C).
- Specified composition: halogen- and fluorocarbon-free.
Standard EZ Tape Sizes
| Item No. | Description | Width | Roll Length |
|---|---|---|---|
| EZ-T 1.0 | Fully coated aluminum tape | 1 in. / 25 mm | 75 ft. / 23 m |
| EZ-T 2.0 | Fully coated aluminum tape | 2 in. / 51 mm | 75 ft. / 23 m |
Simple Purge-Welding Use Guide
- Prepare a clean, dry surface and position the tape over the root gap around the pipe circumference.
- Use the approved gas-inlet method and connect it to the purge-gas supply.
- Introduce the required inert gas, vent the system correctly, and confirm the target oxygen level with a suitable purge monitor before welding.
- Follow the project welding procedure for tape removal, inspection and disposal.
EZ Tape or EZ Zone Tape?
- Choose EZ Tape when a fully adhesive-coated aluminum foil is needed for broad contact, general sealing or temporary pipe-end protection.
- Choose EZ Zone Tape when the weld root gap needs an adhesive-free center zone beneath the tape.
Application Temperature Notes
The minimum stated application temperature is 10°F (-12.5°C). Plan tape placement before high-temperature work: at the 500°F (260°C) adhesive limit, the adhesive may not bond if applied after preheating; when applied before preheating, it may cure to the metal and be more difficult to remove. Confirm the product is appropriate for the project procedure and test on a representative surface when removal is important.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is EZ Tape used for during pipe welding?
It is used to seal a pipe root gap and help contain purge gas during welding. It can also provide temporary pipe-end sealing for transport and general industrial foil-tape uses.
What are the available roll sizes?
EZ-T 1.0 is 1 in. (25 mm) wide and EZ-T 2.0 is 2 in. (51 mm) wide; both are 75 ft. (23 m) long.
How heat resistant is EZ Tape?
The adhesive is rated to 500°F (260°C), while the aluminum foil portion is rated to 1100°F (593°C). Application timing matters because the adhesive may not bond after high-temperature preheating.
When should I choose EZ Tape instead of EZ Zone Tape?
Choose EZ Tape for full-surface adhesion. Choose EZ Zone Tape when the application calls for an adhesive-free center over the root-gap area.
