Description Performance

  WSS heat shrinkable wraparound sleeve is designed for corrosion protection of field girth weld joint buried and exposed steel pipelines, especially for corrosion protection of oil and gas petrol-pipeline.
  WSS provides excellent resistance to cathodic disbondment resulting in effective long-term corrosion protection. The high performance cross-linked backing in combination with a broad of adhesive can be engineered for regular or high stress environments. WSS provides the structural integrity of seal tube, and provides the substrate with durable protection against abrasion and chemical attack.
  WSS has a construction of three-layer system, the first layer is two components solvent-free epoxy primer, the second layer is high strength hot melting copolymer adhesive and the third layer is radiation cross-linked high density polyethylene backing.
