Product Description

Construction

Polypropylene heat shrink field joint coatings enjoys very good compatibility with the plant applied three-layer polypropylene coated linepipe.
Structure:
The PP heat shrinkable sleeve is consist of irradiation cross-linked and stretched polypropylene backing and modified high shear strength polypropylene adhesive. It formed into pre-cut wrap around sleeve with a separate closure system, and applied on 2-component solvent-free liquid epoxy primer.
The Backing consists of a cross-linked and stretched polypropylene backing which is designed to partially or fully recover with heat from a touch during application. The backing also provides resistance against mechanical damage and UV resistance during construction and in service.

Features

The modified polypropylene adhesive with perfect adhesion to the epoxy primer, the PP backing and the factory applied 3LPP coatings.

The initial layer consists of a compatible liquid epoxy primer as the primary corrosion protection layer. The liquid epoxy primer is a kind of solvent free epoxy coating and formulated to be compatible with the polypropylene sleeve adhesive.
The 3LPP HSS forms the same three layer structure as the factory-applied coating 3LPP coating. With excellent resistance to corrosion, the FRDP-PP heat shrinkable sleeve not only meeting the requirements of ISO/DIS 21809 - 3:Petroleum and Natural Gas Industries — External Coatings for Buried or Submerged Pipelines used in Pipeline Transportation Systems — Part 3: Field Joint Coatings, but exceeding it.
The final coating system is suitable for the protection from external corrosion of buried field joints operating at temperatures up to a maximum of 110°C. With excellent anti-corrosion performance and compatibility with the pipeline plant applied three-layer polypropylene coated, the weld joint polypropylene Heat Shrink Sleeves (HSS) suitable for Pipelines that will operate in buried service from ambient temperature to 110°C for a 30 year design life.
