HTLP60 Wrap-around Sleeve & Epoxy System

The most widely used girth weld protection system for three-layer coated pipes.

Product description
HTLP60 field-joint coatings. Construction: Three-layer system: First layer: Liquid epoxy, solvent-free two-component. Second layer: High shear strength copolymer adhesive. Third layer: Radiation cross-linked, high density polyethylene with PCI (Permanent Change Indicator). The HTLP60 system is a wrap-around heat-shrinkable sleeve which replicates the structure and performance of mill-applied three-layer PE coatings. HTLP60 also has excellent compatibility and has been extensively used on many other mill-applied coatings (see below). By far the majority of the girth welds worldwide on three-layer coated pipes, diameters up to 100" (DN2500), have been coated with HTLP60.
During installation, the epoxy is applied to the prepared pipe surface and the heat-shrinkable sleeve is immediately wrapped around the joint over the wet epoxy. Heat is then applied to the sleeve which shrinks to form a tight fit around the joint. While curing, the epoxy forms strong mechanical and chemical bonds to the pipe surface & to the copolymer adhesive layer. The radiation cross-linked outer layer forms a tough barrier against mechanical damage and moisture transmission.

Product features/benefits
Fully resistant to shear forces induced by soil and thermal movements The HTLP is tough & lasts as long a 3-layer, mill-applied coating. Sleeve applied over wet epoxy---allowing formation of strong mechanical & chemical bonds Allows fast application, combined with high performance! Superior cathodic disbondment and hot water immersion resistance Offers the optimum barrier protection against corrosion. Fully reconstructs the coating of three-layer coated pipes Thus, the HTLP allows the pipeline to have a virtually monolithic coating system. Dimpled backing provides a permanent change" indicator for application of heat Ensures correct application heat & allows easy post-heat inspection. Reliable inspectability at any time. /B 0.030 in. 0.75 mm 0.039 in. 1.0 mm 0.039 in. 1.0 mm /1-1.5 0.030 in. 0.75 mm 0.039 in. 1.0 mm 0.060 in. 1.5 mm

Ordering information
HTLP type products are available: as cut piece (pre-cut sleeve with separate closure patch) as Uni-sleeve (pre-cut sleeve with pre-attached closure patch) as a roll (closure patches to be ordered separately) Sleeve width

* Cut piece / Uni-sleeve Example: HTLP60-16000X17/B (/UNI)

Select sleeve width that will overlap onto the mill-applied coating by 2 inches (50 mm) minimum on each side of the weld joint. Take a 10% shrinkage during installation of sleeve width into account when calculating the minimum sleeve width. Standard Ordering options
