Heskins anti corrosion tape is available to be applied between two metals to prevent galvanic corrosion.

What is Galvanic Corrosion?

Galvanic corrosion, also known as bimetallic corrosion, is an electrochemical process whereby one metal corrodes in preference to another metal that it is in contact with through an electrolyte.

Galvanic corrosion occurs when two dissimilar metals are immersed in a conductive solution and are electrically connected. Galvanic corrosion can make a conventionally non-corroding metal then corrode if the conditions are correct and it is connected to a dissimilar metal, i.e. aluminium and steel together.

Ways to prevent Galvanic Corrosion

There are different ways to prevent Galvanic corrosion. Our focus is on insulation, that is, breaking the electrical connection by insulating the two metals from each other.

Dielectric Strength

Dielectric Strength measures the electric strength of insulating materials at various power frequencies. It is an indicator of how good an insulator material is. It is measured in Volts per unit thickness (kV/mm). The higher the value, the more electrically insulating material is.

Heskins Corrosion Protection Tape Applications

Our anti corrosion tape is a self-adhesive tape designed to form an insulating, anti-corrosive barrier between two metals and prevent galvanic corrosion. Our H3453 galvanic corrosion protection tape is incredibly effective at preventing the electrolytic reaction.

All other physical properties are quoted on the current datasheet.

Application

The optimal application temperature for anti corrosion tape is 10°C or above.

Tape Thickness

Corrosion Protection Tape features a total applied thickness of 0.71mm, engineered to deliver durable, long-lasting surface protection without compromising flexibility. Its PVC construction provides a resilient barrier against moisture, abrasion, and chemical exposure while still allowing the tape to conform smoothly to pipes, fittings, metal edges, and other irregular surfaces. This optimized thickness creates a dependable protective layer that guards against corrosion and wear, making it suitable for both industrial and outdoor applications where reliable coverage is essential.

Customisation Options

H3453 Anti-Corrosion Tape can be tailored to meet your exact requirements. It is available in rolls, sheets, and die-cut formats, allowing you to choose the precise size and shape needed for your application. Rolls and sheets are typically available for immediate shipment, while most die-cut shapes can be produced to order depending on quantity.

For added utility and clear communication, custom printing is also available. You can enhance corrosion protection efforts on metal pipework, ducting, and other vulnerable surfaces with printed messages such as “Corrosion-Protected Pipe. Do Not Remove.”, “Moisture Barrier Applied.”, or “Scheduled for Inspection. Handle With Care.” These warnings help prevent accidental removal during maintenance and ensure that protective measures are easily identified in industrial or underground environments.
