In modern shipbuilding and offshore engineering, fire prevention is one of the most critical safety priorities. Ship engine rooms, offshore platforms, pump rooms, and fuel transfer systems contain a large number of high-pressure pipelines carrying flammable liquids such as fuel oil, lubricating oil, hydraulic fluid, and chemical media. Once leakage occurs at flanges, valves, pipe joints, or connectors, the liquid may spray into a fine mist under pressure and instantly contact hot machinery surfaces, exhaust systems, or electrical equipment, leading to serious fires or explosions.
To reduce these risks, international maritime regulations such as SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) require effective protection against oil spray and flammable liquid splashing in high-risk marine environments. As a result, SOLAS-compliant Anti-splashing Tape has become an essential safety protection material for shipowners, shipyards, offshore engineering contractors, and marine equipment suppliers worldwide.
Designed specifically for marine and offshore applications, Anti-splashing Tape provides a simple, cost-effective, and reliable solution for preventing dangerous liquid spray from pipe connections and flanges. It helps improve fire safety, reduce maintenance risks, and support compliance with marine safety regulations.
Anti-splashing Tape, also known as Anti-spray Tape or Marine Splash Protection Tape, is a specially engineered protective tape used to wrap flanges, valves, joints, and pipe connections that carry flammable liquids.
Its main purpose is to contain liquid spray or leakage caused by gasket failure, loose bolts, vibration, or pipeline damage. Instead of allowing oil or chemicals to spray outward and form hazardous mist, the tape helps redirect or contain the leakage, significantly reducing the possibility of fire ignition.
Marine Anti-splashing Tape is widely used in:
Ship engine rooms
Fuel oil systems
Hydraulic pipelines
Lubrication systems
Offshore drilling platforms
FPSO systems
Pump rooms
Chemical transfer pipelines
Power generation equipment
Compared with traditional metal spray shields, Anti-splashing Tape offers greater flexibility, easier installation, lower cost, and better adaptability to irregular surfaces.
SOLAS regulations place strict emphasis on fire prevention in machinery spaces. According to SOLAS Reg. II-2/4.2.2.5.3, oil fuel lines, lubricating oil systems, and other flammable liquid pipelines must be protected to prevent oil spray or leakage from contacting ignition sources.
The reason is simple: even a small leak can become extremely dangerous under high pressure and high temperature conditions.
In ship engine rooms, pipeline systems are constantly exposed to:
Continuous vibration
Thermal expansion
High operating pressure
Salt spray corrosion
Long-term mechanical stress
Over time, flanges, valves, and pipe joints may loosen or deteriorate, increasing the risk of leakage. When fuel oil or hydraulic fluid escapes under pressure, it can atomize into combustible mist. Once this mist contacts hot engine surfaces or electrical sparks, catastrophic fires may occur within seconds.
For this reason, shipowners and offshore operators increasingly install Anti-splashing Tape as part of their routine safety management systems and SOLAS compliance strategy.
Our Marine Anti-splashing Tape is designed specifically for harsh offshore and marine operating environments. The product combines high-strength fiberglass fabric, aluminum foil reinforcement, and professional adhesive technology to provide reliable long-term protection.
The core layer uses durable fiberglass fabric with excellent tensile strength and tear resistance. It can withstand vibration and mechanical stress commonly found in ship engine rooms and offshore platforms.
Aluminum foil laminated on both sides provides:
Excellent heat resistance
Thermal reflection
Oil resistance
Corrosion resistance
Improved flame retardancy
This structure helps protect the tape from high temperatures and harsh marine environments.
The tape uses a professional-grade adhesive with strong bonding performance, allowing secure installation on:
Flanges
Pipe joints
Valves
Connectors
Irregular surfaces
Even under high humidity and elevated temperatures, the tape maintains excellent adhesion performance.
Anti-splashing Tape helps contain flammable liquid spray and prevents the formation of dangerous oil mist. This significantly reduces fire risks in machinery spaces and offshore facilities.
Marine environments are highly corrosive due to salt spray and moisture exposure. Our tape is specially designed to resist corrosion, aging, and environmental degradation for long-term durability.
Unlike bulky metal spray shields, Anti-splashing Tape can be installed quickly without special tools or complicated procedures, reducing installation time and maintenance costs.
Anti-splashing Tape is suitable for various marine and offshore applications where flammable liquid pipelines require additional protection.
Widely used on:
Fuel oil pipe flanges
Lubrication oil systems
Hydraulic pipe joints
Valve connections
Pump systems
It helps reduce fire hazards and improve engine room safety compliance.
Offshore drilling rigs and production platforms contain numerous high-pressure pipelines carrying oil and chemicals. Anti-splashing Tape provides effective protection against accidental liquid spray.
Floating Production Storage and Offloading systems require reliable fire prevention measures due to their complex fluid handling systems.
The tape is ideal for ship repair, retrofitting projects, and routine maintenance because of its simple installation and flexible application.
