Our high-performance radiation cross-linked PE heat shrink sleeve is a professional 3LPE pipeline field joint repair material exclusively developed for anti-corrosion protection of girth weld joints on buried oil & gas transmission pipelines. This standard 3LPE field joint coating solution is used worldwide for long-distance pipeline construction and maintenance.
Every 3LPE anti-corrosion coated steel pipe leaves bare steel exposed at every girth weld joint during field installation. This radiation cross-linked PE heat shrink sleeve restores the full 3LPE anti-corrosion protection standard at every field joint, eliminating the most common failure point in buried oil & gas pipeline anti-corrosion systems.
This 3LPE field joint repair sleeve adopts premium two-layer composite construction: radiation cross-linked polyethylene backing (tensile strength 19.47MPa, elongation 626%) matched with high-adhesion imported hot melt adhesive (peel strength 145.6N/cm to steel) - delivering factory 3LPE-equivalent anti-corrosion protection at every buried pipeline girth weld joint.
