scope:

a. The Applicator shall furnish all labor, equipment and material required, shall prepare all surfaces to be coated and shall apply the coating to all surfaces to be coated.

b. Heat shrinkable sleeves are designed to provide moisture penetration resistance and corrosion prevention for pipeline field joints.

c. The product is a heat shrinkable material fabricated from cross-linked polyolefin pre-coated with a mastic or adhesive.

d. These adhesives display properties not possible with pressure-sensitive tapes.

e. The sleeves shrink when heated and force the mastic (or adhesive) to flow into the irregularities of the weld.

f. The shrinking action provides a simple, reproducible delivery system for the mastic or adhesive.

g. When shrunk, the polyolefin sleeve provides penetration and abrasion resistance during handling, backfill, and operation of the pipe. It also provides resistance against soil stresses, alkalis, acids, microbes and fungi. h. Wrap around sleeves can be installed after welding and inspection.

i. Heat shrinkable sleeves are also self priming in nature and bond to virtually all subtrates including heavy wall pipe, polyethylene, epoxy powder and bituminous coatings.
