Product Description

Features & Benefits

The DDX - Directional Drilling Kit is a

high performance system designed to
protect welded joints on PE and FBE
coated pipelines in directional drilling
applications. The DDX system consists
of the following key components:

Superior Gouge & Abrasion

Resistance

! Force-cure epoxy primer applied to

stresses and pipe movements

steel for
protection.

maximum

corrosion

! Primary sleeve composed of high

shear strength adhesive, a protective

heat shrinkable HDPE backing, and a
pre-attached closure patch.
! Sacrificial sleeve incorporated to

protect the leading edge of the

underlying primary sleeve during pullthrough operation.
In addition to providing effective
protection against pull-through forces
that occur during the directional drilling
operation, Canusa's DDX is a 3-layer PE
system that provides superior corrosion
protection at pipeline weld joints.

! Designed to mitigate the effect of

forces associated with directional

drilling
! Highly resistant to the effect of soil
