Water Soluble Paper

The greatest advantage of Aquasol® water-soluble purge dams is that they can be placed in close proximity to a weld zone, then dissolved with water or steam introduced through the pipe. We recommend the dams be placed 6 to 8 inches on each side of the root gap. This is in comparison to conventional dams which are placed 10-20 feet from the weld area. An alternative to traditional cardboard purging systems, Aquasol® water-soluble paper and tape are extremely easy to use and provide a safe work environment for welders. Soluble paper is made of Sodium Carboxy Methyl Cellulose and wooden pulp that dissolves rapidly and completely in most liquids including water. After welding is complete, Aquasol® purge dams can be effortlessly dissolved and flushed out of the system with water when hydro testing; leaving no residue in the pipeline.
