Wrapping tissue is used to insulate pipelines carrying liquids and gases and is applied as either an inner wrap or an outer wrap. It is one of the most widely used and important materials for protecting coatings on metal pipelines carrying gas, oil, and water against corrosion. Its key properties include high tensile strength, uniformity, suitable flexibility, good longitudinal integrity, and resistance to bitumen absorption and saturation. Gas and oil pipelines wrapped with this tissue are fully protected against moisture penetration and environmental factors, significantly reducing maintenance and repair costs and substantially extending pipeline service life.

Wrapping tissue is available in basis weights from 50 to 60 g/m².

Applications:

• Wrapping gas and oil transmission pipelines: Used as the final outer protective layer on metal pipes buried in soil.
• Reinforcing bituminous pipeline coatings: Reinforces bitumen and petroleum-based insulation layers on pipelines to prevent cracking over time.
• Protection against mechanical soil stresses: Protects the pipe's primary coating from gravel impact, soil abrasion, and damage during handling and burial.
• Thermal-insulation jacketing: Used as the outer protective skin over rock-wool or glass-wool insulation in utility systems and boiler rooms.
