Heat-Shrinking Sleeve Systems
Acortec offers premium heat-shrinking sleeves designed to provide exceptional protection, durability, and corrosion resistance for pipeline infrastructure. Our advanced solutions ensure long-term reliability and optimal performance, making them essential for safeguarding pipelines in onshore, offshore, and industrial applications.
How Heat-Shrinking Sleeves Work?
During pipeline construction, heat-shrinking sleeves are applied at field welds and field joints to maintain the pipeline’s integrity. The process involves:
Adhesion
The sleeve’s adhesive bonds securely to both the pipeline cutback and the factory-applied mainline coating, forming a watertight seal.
Corrosion Protection
The adhesive layer acts as a robust barrier against corrosion, preserving pipeline integrity.
Mechanical Strength
The polyolefin backing ensures strong abrasion resistance, soil stress tolerance, and environmental wear resistance after burial.
