Water Pipelines
Aqua-Shield®
Durable protection against abrasion and chemical attack.
Superior corrosion protection.
Covers and protects the pipe surface.
Assured performance.
Aqua-Shield® is a family of heat-shrinkable sleeve products that have been specifically designed for corrosion protection of water pipelines.
Various product configurations are available that utilize a cross-linked polyolefin backing and a protective, heat-activated adhesive which effectively bonds to metallic substrates and common pipeline coatings.
Long Term Protection
Once installed, Aqua-Shield® provides durable protection against abrasion and chemical attack. The high performance crosslinked backing provides the superior abrasion resistance and mechanical strength required for water transmission and distribution lines. Aqua-Shield® effectively covers and protects the pipe surface to prevent corrosion. Since no special primers are required, less time is required for installation.
Flexible & Reliable Installation
The Aqua-Shield® family of products are available in various configurations for flexibility of installation.
- Aqua-Shield® AQW-HS: Specially constructed and provided in custom cut lengths for field joints on large diameter water pipelines including “O”-ring and field welded configurations, as well as coating factory fittings and mitered elbows.
- Aqua-Shield® AQW-WAB: The AQW-WAB system is a two layer system comprised of a 6” wide AQW-WAB underlay sleeve followed with the secondary AQW-HS heat shrink sleeve for added protection over the heat affected zone for internally welded field joints / weld-after-backfill applications.
Assured Performance
The AQW-HS and AQW-WAB products meet and exceed the requirements of AWWA standard C216-15.
