SPRAY STOP TAPE NEW FROM PSP MARINE TAPES - SOLAS REGS COMPLIANT

New into PSP Marine Tapes commercial range is Spray Stop, designed to prevent the spray of fuel, hot water or steam from burst pipes, pipe joints, flanges, boilers and engine installations in large commercial ships. This anti-splash tape can be used for many applications in the industrial marine, workboat, ferry and cruise markets.

Spray Stop tape as required under SOLAS Regulation 11-2/15.2.11, is aimed at minimising the risk of fire, which is prevented with two equally applicable measures - insulation of hot surfaces and screening or shielding of pipe connections in pipelines containing fuel oil, lubrication oil or hydraulic oil. Spray Stop tape is an essential, low cost requirement for every marine engine room and can be supplied in bulk for any purchaser or procurement officer trying to equip a fleet of vessels.

Spray Stop from PSP is a multi-layer aluminium and glass cloth, coated with a high performance, heat resistant silicon adhesive. Spray Stop in a small pack version is available in two widths 25mm or 50mm, each in one metre lengths and for larger orders can be supplied in various widths by 10m rolls. The tape is easy to apply in an overlapping spiral wrap under tension and is quickly able to prevent spay out and splashing from hot, dangerous flammable liquids or steam.
