Purpose & User
Aquasol ASWT-1 is a water-soluble purge tape designed for TIG welding on aluminium pipework. It forms a temporary dam that dissolves completely during hydro-testing, leaving no residue inside the pipeline. The tape suits fabricators and maintenance crews who need a biodegradable barrier for pressure verification.
Fit & Limits
This roll suits teams welding aluminium pipes between 2 in and 36 in diameter where CE and EPA compliance are required. It is not for jobs needing a permanent plug or a barrier that survives steam exposure without dissolving. Buyers who want a reusable metal dam or a tape compatible with other base metals should look at something else.
Deciding Spec
The tape dissolves rapidly during water or steam hydro-testing and leaves zero residue in the line. This single behaviour determines whether the product matches your purge-and-test workflow.
