AQUASOL Water Soluble Paper and Tapes

Aquasol® Water Soluble Paper and Tape offer a highly effective, biodegradable solution for creating custom purge dams used in TIG welding of stainless steel and aluminum pipes. Designed to retain noble gases such as argon and helium close to the weld zone, this versatile system improves purge efficiency, reduces gas consumption, and simplifies preparation and cleanup. Made of water-soluble materials that dissolve completely during hydro testing, it leaves no residue behind.

FEATURES & BENEFITS:

Effective Purge Gas Barrier

• Creates a low air-permeable barrier to retain inert gases during welding.
• Customizable construction for use with various pipe diameters and schedules.
• Reduces purge gas consumption by enabling positioning close to the weld zone.
• Secures tightly to the pipe’s inner wall using water-soluble tape for airtight sealing.

Biodegradable & Safe

• Manufactured from sodium carboxy methyl cellulose and wooden pulp — 100% biodegradable.
• EPA and CE approved material, non-toxic and environmentally friendly.
• Accepted by industries such as nuclear, petrochemical, and food & beverage.

Easy Removal

• Dissolves rapidly and completely in water or steam, leaving no residue in the pipeline.
• Simplifies post-weld cleanup and transitions into hydro testing.

Convenient & Versatile

• Individually packaged paper rolls for simple storage and handling.
• Available in a wide range of sizes, grades, and forms to accommodate any pipe diameter.
