ENNIS, TX – Polyguard Products, a global leader in protective coatings and moisture barriers, is proud to announce the official launch of the Wax Wrap Integrated System. This high-performance, petroleum-based corrosion protection solution is engineered to provide a robust, flexible barrier for metal infrastructure in the most demanding midstream oil, gas, water, and wastewater environments.

Corrosion remains one of the costliest challenges for pipeline operators. The Wax Wrap system addresses this by offering a "zero-delay" solution that can be applied to wet or dry surfaces and returned to service immediately. The system is available in three specialized formulations: Wax Wrap 60, Wax Wrap 60 Below Grade, and Wax Wrap HT (High Temperature). 

Innovative Engineering for Extreme Conditions

Wax Wrap is a petroleum-based compound impregnated into a non-woven synthetic carrier. Unlike traditional coatings that can become brittle or require intensive surface preparation, Wax Wrap remains permanently pliable and can be applied over a wide range of temperatures and wet or dry surfaces.

Key Features & Benefits:

  • Versatile: Designed for use on steel pipelines, valves, fittings, and irregular profiles.

  • Resilient: Stays flexible in extreme cold and maintains integrity in high-temperature applications.

  • Fast-Acting: Allows for immediate backfilling or painting after application, significantly reducing project downtime.

  • Reliable: Features high dielectric strength and zero cathodic disbondment, ensuring long-term structural integrity.

  • VOC Free: The system is free of VOCs, odorless, non-hazardous, and non-toxic, making it ideal for sensitive environments like tunnels and vaults. 

"We introduced Wax Wrap with the goal to provide operators with a solution that was missing from our Pipeline product portfolio which is both easy to apply and effective," said Greg Abel, Director of Business Development for Polyguard’s Industrial Division. "Rounding out our offering with Wax Wrap helps our clients protect their assets without slowing down operations while providing a nonhazardous product option for the applicator."

The Integrated Approach
For maximum performance, Polyguard recommends using the Wax Wrap system alongside its companion accessories, Wax Wrap Primer and Wax Wrap Putty. 

The Polyguard Wax Wrap Integrated System is manufactured in the USA. The entire Wax Wrap product portfolio is available through Polyguard’s distribution partners, PSS Cross Country Infrastructure Solutions, In-Line Pigging Solutions (Canada), and Pro Kote Engineering.
