DENSO 50 Heat Shrink Sleeve

DENSO 50 Heat Shrink Sleeve (DENSO 50HSS)

Description:

Denso 50HSS is a two layer field joint coating system designed for corrosion
protection of pipelines that operate at ambient temperature.

Composition:

Two-layer structure
First layer: Low pre-heat modified bitumen sealant adhesive.
Second layer: Thick-wall irradiated cross linked Polyolefin.

Characteristics:

Denso 50HSS is compatible with standard pipe coatings, and can also be used for
coating bare, replacement pipe sections and large radius bends.
Purpose formulated compound gives excellent adhesion results, excellent
resistance to cathodic disbondment, and long term corrosion protection.
The high performance backing is engineered for standard or high soil stress
environments.
The installed sleeve offers the structural integrity of a seamless tube and offers
superior resistance against abrasion and chemical attack.
The sealing adhesive automatically flows and repairs minor mechanical
damage. This self-healing effect saves extra intervention steps.
Stable in composition and plasticity over a wide temperature range.
Non-hardening and non-cracking. Tough, but flexible even at low temperatures!
Accommodates vibration and extreme movement of substrate.
Highly resistant to mineral acids, alkalis and salts.
Will adhere and remain attached to all cleaned, sound, dry metal surfaces.
No special equipment or skills required

Uses:

Denso 50HSS is available as a wrap around heat shrinkable, ready to fit assembly
for the corrosion protection of field weld joints in distribution and transmission
systems.

Surface
Preparation
and Application:

Installation is carried out directly on the cleaned and dried (pre-heated) pipe
surface (as per application instructions), without any primer being required. The
system is designed to be applied with minimum pre-heating and is ideal for large
diameter water pipe.
The heat shrink sleeve is wrapped and shrunk to form a tight fit around the joint.
During recovery, the adhesive softens and flows to form a perfect bond with the
pipe surface providing protection against corrosion. The irradiated polyolefin outer
layer forms a tough barrier against mechanical damage and moisture
transmission.

Shelf Life:
Service Life:

Indeterminably long, > 30 years expected.

Expected > 30 years.
