Product Description

Product Introduction

  • Construction: three-layer system.
  • First layer: liquid epoxy, solvent-free, two-component.
  • Second layer: high shear strength hot-melt adhesive.
  • Third layer: radiation cross-linked, high density polyethylene, fiber reinforced composite structure.
  • Additional component: Wear Cone as extra protection against pull-through forces, of the same construction as the main sleeve.

The FRDK heat shrinkable fiberglass reinforced sleeves provides effective protection against abrasion and wear forces that occur during the pull-through operation. The system is fully compatible with cathodic protection systems, resists cathodic disbandment and is designed for a wide range of operating temperatures.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the FRDK heat shrinkable fiberglass reinforced sleeve used for?
The FRDK sleeve is designed to provide effective protection against abrasion and wear forces during horizontal directional drilling (HDD) operations for oil & gas pipelines, water pipelines, and other underground installations.
What are the main layers of the FRDK sleeve construction?
The FRDK sleeve features a three-layer system: a liquid epoxy first layer (solvent-free, two-component), a high shear strength hot-melt adhesive second layer, and a radiation cross-linked high-density polyethylene fiber reinforced composite structure as the third layer.
Is the FRDK sleeve compatible with cathodic protection systems?
Yes, the FRDK sleeve is fully compatible with cathodic protection systems and demonstrates superior cathodic disbondment resistance, making it ideal for long-term pipeline protection.
What types of pipeline coatings are compatible with FRDK sleeves?
FRDK sleeves are compatible with PE (Polyethylene), FBE (Fusion Bonded Epoxy), and Coal Tar pipeline coatings, providing versatile application options for various pipeline protection systems.
What is the purpose of the Wear Cone component?
The Wear Cone serves as an additional protective component against pull-through forces during HDD operations. It has the same construction as the main sleeve and provides extra protection at critical stress points.
What are the temperature requirements for FRDK sleeve installation?
The FRDK sleeve requires preheating for proper installation. It is designed to operate across a wide range of temperatures and demonstrates excellent performance at both ambient (23°C) and elevated temperatures (65°C) as shown in the technical data.
