HDPE Heat Shrink Sleeve For 3LPE Pipeline Joint Protection
The Qingdao Huashida Radiation Cross-linked Polyethylene (PE) Heat Shrink Sleeve is an advanced anti-corrosion solution designed for the field application of 3-layer polyethylene (3LPE) coating systems. It is ideal for the protection and repair of welded joints in steel pipelines used in oil, gas, and water supply systems.
This product replicates the factory-applied 3LPE structure and performance in field conditions, ensuring durable and reliable protection for pipeline joints.
The heat shrink sleeve is composed of two primary layers:
- Radiation Cross-linked Polyethylene (PE) Backing - Offers superior mechanical strength and protection from external damage.
- Special Hot-Melt Adhesive Layer - Ensures strong adhesion to the steel surface and seamless bonding with the epoxy primer.
This system is applied in conjunction with a solvent-free two-component epoxy primer, forming a true 3-layer field-applied coating system.
- Surface Preparation - Clean and prepare the steel surface at the weld joint area.
- Epoxy Primer Application - Apply the solvent-free two-component epoxy primer.
- Sleeve Application - Wrap the heat shrink sleeve over the wet primer.
- Heat Shrinking - Apply heat to shrink the sleeve tightly around the joint.
- Curing and Protection - The epoxy cures, creating strong chemical and mechanical bonds.
- Field joint corrosion protection for oil and gas pipelines
- Field joint corrosion protection for water pipelines
- Repair and maintenance of factory-applied 3LPE coatings
- Material: High-quality PE
- Ensures secure heat shrink sealing for pre-insulated steel pipe field joints
- Available in standard or customized options
- Standard black, with customized alternatives upon request
- Easy installation using a gas gun
- 110-2000mm to fit various pipeline dimensions
- High production capacity (2000 sets/day)
- Reliable performance and long-lasting protection
