flangeDOTS® Self-Adhesive Flange Protectors
Exposed and poorly protected flange faces collect rust, mechanical damage, and introduce contamination from the moment they leave fabrication. Every damaged gasket surface that reaches the field becomes a rework ticket before bolt-up. flangeDOTS® are adhesive flange protectors built to solve that problem at the source. These flange protectors hold up to the most aggressive blast media, keep unwanted contamination out of all your piping components, and can be installed and removed quickly without leaving residue behind.
The adhesive is safe to use on all grades of steel and specialty metals including stainless steel. We added a VCI additive to the adhesive to keep the gasket sealing surface from free of corrosion, giving you active rust prevention on top of the physical barrier. flangeDOTS are precision cut to fit the raised face surface of the flange and give you a clean paint edge every time, eliminating the layers of tape and the trimming labor that traditional masking methods require.
Built for Short-Term Preservation and Every Stage Before It
flangeDOTS® were engineered for applications such as short-term flange or equipment storage, sandblasting, painting masking, and shipping. For projects that move past the short-term flange storage window into long-term preservation, flangeDOTS combine with our flangeBUMPERS® and multiNUTS™ to create an air-tight, water-tight seal on the flange face. That combination is the heart of the P3 Patented Preservation System.
When applied correctly, flangeDOTS withstand subzero temperatures in areas such as Alaska, Canada, and Norway, as well as hold up to 400F degrees. The flangeDOT itself does not disintegrate in 400F degrees, the adhesive simply melts and the flangeDOT slides off the flange face cleanly.
flangeDOTS® are available in sizes from ½" through 120" across all pressure classes, with custom sizes manufactured on short lead times. Logo customization is available for a 5% price increase, giving fabricators and EPCs a visible quality marker on every protected flange.
Application: Clean, Inspect, Protect
Before applying flangeDOTS, three steps lock in performance. Clean the flange face to remove dust, oil, and surface debris. Inspect the raised face surface using the P3-GIT gramophone inspection tool to confirm the gasket area is free of pitting or mechanical damage. Then apply the flangeDOT, aligning it to the raised surface area and pressing into place. No cure time is required. The flangeDOT is ready for blast and paint the moment it is applied.

Get A Quote NowflangeDOTS® are a flexible self-adhesive Flange Protector designed to protect the gasket surface area of a raised face flange during sand, bead and shot blasting and painting. They also keep the inside of the pipe spools, valves and vessels free of blast and paint debris during the blasting, painting and coating process.
We have tested flangeDOTS® with wind speed well over 100 MPH and find that our product will stay attached firmly.
No, flangeDOTS® are designed as a peel and stick product. You just install it to a clean dry surface and it’s ready for blast and paint.
Yes, flangeDOTS® are designed to be a Peel and Stick Adhesive Flange Protector with a proprietary pressure sensitive adhesive. You just remove the backer, align to the raised surface area of the flange and stick it. This will save countless hours in application time over conventional masking methods using layers and layers of tape and then trimming the tape to the raised surface area of the flange.
flangeDOTS® peel off with relative ease and leave no glue residue behind. Compared to traditional masking methods like duct tape that leave large amounts of glue and residue behind, costing you additional time and money to clean the flange surface, flangeDOTS® will speed up your process and put more money on your bottom line.
