Water-soluble purge paper for TIG welding
Aquasol ASW-35/R-15 is a biodegradable paper tape designed to create temporary dams inside pipes during TIG welding of aluminium and stainless steel. It dissolves completely during hydro-testing with water or steam, leaving no residue in the pipeline. The roll suits pipe diameters from 2 in up to 36 in.
Condition during use
The paper is formulated from sodium carboxy methyl cellulose and wooden pulp with a thickness of .089 mm. It holds position during the argon purge and welding heat, then breaks down rapidly when the system is flooded for pressure testing. No mechanical removal is required and the material adds no foreign matter to the finished joint.
Standards and format
The product carries CE and EPA approvals confirming its environmental compliance. Supplied as a 15 1/2 in wide form roll with 165 ft length, it allows continuous tearing to match varying joint spacing. The 100 percent biodegradable composition simplifies disposal and meets typical project specifications for clean piping systems.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 15 1/2 in wide paper roll for a 36 in pipe?
Cut the 165 ft roll into discs slightly larger than the 36 in maximum pipe diameter, insert each disc between the joint faces, and dissolve with water or steam during hydro-testing.
What replacement or maintenance will the water soluble paper need later?
The paper is single-use; it dissolves completely during the hydro-test leaving no residue, so no maintenance is required and a new roll is needed for each welding job.
What limit appears first during sustained welding with the 0.089 mm thick paper?
The 0.089 mm thickness dissolves rapidly once water or steam contacts it, so the paper cannot remain intact through prolonged heat before the hydro-test step.
