Mill-applied
3 Layer Polyethylene coatings
•Technologies:
–Polyurethanes
–Epoxy
•Manual application or machine (Spray)
•Single or multiple passes to reach required thickness
•3 layers
–Epoxy
–Adhesive
–Polyethylene
•Replication of mill-applied 3-layer PE coating
•Factory made design/system
Function of the intermediate adhesive
Maximise the adhesion to:
Polyethylene (Mechanical Protection) & Epoxy (Corrosion Protection)
Good shear resistance
Sleeves
–Epoxy
–Adhesive
–Polyethylene
Reconstructs mill-applied coating performance
Liquids
Sole adhesive to bond to 4 materials:
–Steel
–Epoxy
–Adhesive
Polyethylene
•Adhesion Epoxy-Metal: 20-30MPa (ISO = 10 MPa)
•Adhesion PU-Metal:10-15 MPa (ISO = 10MPa)
•Adhesion PU / Epoxy - PE
•Not compliant with ISO 21809-3
•Adhesion of Heat Shrinkable Sleeves on Steel is the same as Adhesion on PE
Line coating
determines the choice of girthweld protection.

Heat-shrink Sleeves
•Surface Preparation
•Pre-heating
•Mixing and application of Epoxy
•Sleeve Application
•Shrinking (Torch)
•Dielectric Testing (identical voltage)
(Irrelevant of the ambient conditions)
Liquids
•Applicator Protection (Spray)
•Prepare equipment (Spray)
•Surface preparation
•Pre-heating (especially PE)
•Appropriate mixing
•Roll or Spray
•Check and build up thickness (3 x 500 microns)
•Polymerization & Protection
•Dielectric Test (different voltages)
(Ambient Conditions RH < 80% to avoid Blistering)
Pinholes are a consequence of entrapped air and moisture
