Dirax

Fibre‑glass reinforced wrap‑around heat‑shrink sleeve for horizontal directional drilling. It protects the girth weld while a PE‑ or FBE‑coated pipe is pulled through the bore: the reinforced backing takes abrasion and penetration, and a wear cone on the leading edge takes the pull‑through forces. Three layers: a solvent‑free two‑component epoxy, a high‑shear copolymer adhesive and a thick fibre‑glass reinforced cross‑linked polyethylene. The sleeve is wrapped over the wet epoxy, so there is no curing wait.
