WATER SOLUBLE PAPER AND TAPE
WHAT IS AQUASOL ® WATER SOLUBLE PAPER?
Aquasol® Water Soluble Paper provides a convenient and cost effective method for creating
purge chambers for pipe welding.
How Does It Work?
Aquasol® Water Soluble Paper is simply cut to shape, folded and taped to each side of the
pipe. It creates a barrier for inert gases such as argon and helium. Once the weld is
complete, the pipe is flushed with water or steam and the Aquasol® Water Soluble Paper
dissolves instantaneously.
Does It Work in Any Water Temperature?
Yes, Aquasol® will dissolve in either hot or cold water. However, the rate of dissolvability
increases as the temperature of the water increases.
How Do I Achieve a Perfect Seal?
Aquasol’s Water Soluble Tape is engineered in such a way that it will allow the user to place
the dam in the proper position before maximizing the adhesive seal. The strength of the
“tack” or stickiness of the adhesive allows the user to have control and reposition the dam if
not properly placed on the first attempt. Once the dam is positioned, the user can increase
adhesion by reactivating the adhesive on the tape portion of the dam and form a tight seal as
illustrated below:
Activate the Water Soluble Tape
Moisten an ordinary sponge
in water. Squeeze out
excess water.
Lightly dab sponge along the
water soluble tape portion of
the dam.
The dampened sponge will
reactivate the adhesive to
ensure zero air permeability.
