Product Description

Product Introduction
A key advantage of the FRY heat-shrinkable tubular sleeve is its broad compatibility: it complies with mainly standard pipeline coatings (such as 2LPE, FBE, and mastic coatings) and outer jackets. It eliminates the risk of coating incompatibility and ensures the integrity of the entire pipeline anti-corrosion system, reducing maintenance costs for later repairs.

Three-Layer Structured Design

The FRY heat-shrinkable tubular sleeve adopts a scientific three-layer composite structure, each layer playing a critical role in enhancing anti-corrosion efficiency and durability:

1
Primer Layer — Solvent-Free Two-Component Liquid Epoxy
As the bottom anticorrosion layer, it features strong adhesion to bare steel and existing pipeline coatings. It forms a tight, chemical-resistant barrier to prevent the pipeline from corrosion.
2
Intermediate Layer — High Shear Strength Copolymer Adhesive
Its high shear strength ensures the tubular sleeve stays firmly attached to the pipeline and prevents corrosion even under soil pressure, pipeline thermal expansion, or minor ground movement.
3
Backing Layer — Radiation Cross-Linked Polyethylene
The outer backing offers high mechanical strength, impact resistance, and weather resistance. After heat shrinking, it forms a rigid, seamless protective shell that resists soil abrasion, root penetration, and external impacts—effectively shielding the weld joint from physical damage during backfilling and long-term operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1
What makes the FRY heat-shrinkable tubular sleeve compatible with different pipeline coatings?
The FRY sleeve is engineered to adhere to a wide range of standard pipeline coatings including 2LPE, FBE, and mastic coatings. Its solvent-free two-component liquid epoxy primer layer provides strong chemical bonding to both bare steel and existing coatings, ensuring seamless compatibility and eliminating the risk of coating incompatibility across the entire anti-corrosion system.
Q2
What is the role of each layer in the three-layer structure of the FRY sleeve?
The three layers serve distinct functions: (1) The Primer Layer (solvent-free epoxy) bonds tightly to the steel surface and resists chemical corrosion. (2) The Intermediate Layer (high shear strength copolymer adhesive) keeps the sleeve securely attached under soil pressure, thermal expansion, and ground movement. (3) The Backing Layer (radiation cross-linked PE) provides mechanical protection against abrasion, root penetration, and physical impact during backfilling and long-term operation.
Q3
What pipeline types and sizes is the FRY heat-shrinkable tubular sleeve suitable for?
The FRY sleeve is suitable for oil & gas pipelines and water pipelines. It is available in a comprehensive range of sizes covering pipe ODs from DN15 (22mm) up to Φ1350mm, making it applicable for small-diameter distribution lines as well as large-diameter transmission pipelines.
Q4
What is the maximum operating temperature of the FRY heat-shrinkable tubular sleeve?
The FRY heat-shrinkable tubular sleeve has a maximum operating temperature of 50℃. This makes it well-suited for buried pipeline applications in typical oil, gas, and water transmission environments where operating temperatures remain within this range.
Q5
How does the FRY sleeve perform in terms of peel strength and impact resistance?
According to ISO 21809-3 testing, the installed FRY sleeve achieves a peel strength of 56 N/cm at 23℃, indicating excellent long-term adhesion. Its impact resistance reaches ≥15 J per ASTM G-14, ensuring the sleeve can withstand mechanical stresses during backfilling and in-service conditions without cracking or delamination.
Q6
Can the FRY heat-shrinkable tubular sleeve be used with cathodic protection systems?
Yes. The FRY sleeve demonstrates excellent resistance to cathodic disbondment, with a test result of only 13mm radius after 28 days at 23℃ per ISO 21809-3. This confirms that the sleeve maintains strong adhesion even when used in conjunction with cathodic protection systems, ensuring long-term corrosion protection for pipeline weld joints.
