Growth in pipe protection

Den­so Group Ger­many, man­u­fac­tur­er of cor­ro­sion pre­ven­tion sys­tems for weld­ed joints, pipe reha­bil­i­ta­tion and pipe coat­ings, expands its com­pre­hen­sive prod­uct range with new Pal­imex pro­tec­tive tapes for pipes and sta­tion construction.
The new co-extrud­ed Pal­imex tapes – which are ide­al for use on buried steel and cast iron pipes – pro­vide long-last­ing, high-strength pro­tec­tion, whether they are used indi­vid­u­al­ly or com­bined as a tape sys­tem. The pro­tec­tive tapes reli­ably absorb the high mechan­i­cal loads that occur in these applications.
The flex­i­ble mod­u­lar struc­ture of the tapes means that vary­ing tape dimen­sion and thick­ness can be com­bined as need­ed. Pal­imex tapes pro­vide excel­lent elec­tri­cal insu­la­tion for a wide range of build­ing projects: On straight pipe sec­tions, the tapes are easy and cost-effec­tive to apply, and on com­po­nents with dif­fer­ent geome­tries – such as pipe bends and mould­ed parts – they are flex­i­ble and adhere per­fect­ly to the pipe.
With this new addi­tion to its range, Den­so is offer­ing a per­ma­nent pro­tec­tion solu­tion for pipes designed for oper­at­ing tem­per­a­tures of up to 85 degrees Cel­sius. Applied direct­ly to the pipe sur­face requir­ing pro­tec­tion, Pal­imex-880 forms a strong and impact-resis­tant pipe coat­ing. The UV-resis­tant Pal­imex-855 is dif­fu­sion-resis­tant against exter­nal fac­tors such as water vapour and oxy­gen. The tapes are resis­tant to cor­ro­sive media, either on their own or as part of a sys­tem solu­tion com­prised of both types of tape.
