FlexClad - Heat Shrinkable Tape for Elbow and bend of pipes

Applications: FLEXCLAD pipe bend coating.

Construction: Multi wrap construction:

Adhesives: Semi-crystalline mastic sealant (Flexclad),

High-shear strength copolymer adhesive (Flexclad-II-C30).

Backing: Flexible, radiation cross-linked, low density polyethylene.

FLEXCLAD tapes are stretchable, hand-wrapped, heat-shrinkable tapes used for corrosion protection of pipe bends and also for small diameter straight pipes in distribution networks.

FLEXCLAD is available in 2 mechanical classes:

• B30 = FLEXCLAD;
• C30 = FLEXCLAD-II-C30.

 

The installation is carried out directly on the cleaned and prepared pipe surface without any primer. During installation, FLEXCLAD(-II) is to be wrapped spirally around the bend with a 50% overlap. The carrier is heated and shrinks tightly around the substrate; at the same time, the sealing adhesive melts and is forced into all surface irregularities, forming a thorough coating and a complete bond with the substrate.

 

Features & Benefits:

• Different mechanical classes
• Provides options to the customer and allows cost savings.
• Highly flexible
• Easy to apply at both low or high temperatures & on pipes of small diameter.
• Compatible with varying pipe diameters
• Minimizes inventory, thus saving money.
• Self-tensioning, heat-shrinkable backing
• Easy to use. Saves time.
• No special equipment required
• Keeps installation costs low.

Max Temperature: 50 ºC, 122 ºF
