AQUA-SHIELDS
Aqua-Shield® is a family of heat shrinkable sleeve products that have been specifically designed for the corrosion protection of large diameter water pipelines.
Various product configurations are available that utilize a crosslinked polyolefin backing, coated with a protective, heat-activated adhesive which effectively bonds to metallic substrates and common pipeline coatings.
Long Term Protection
• Once installed, Aqua-Shield® provides durable protection against abrasion and chemical attack. The high performance crosslinked backing provides the superior abrasion resistance and mechanical strength required for water transmission and distribution lines. Aqua-Shield® effectively covers and protects the pipe surface to prevent corrosion. Since no special primers are required, less time is required for installation.
