GTS-PP Global Transmission Sleeve for Polypropylene up to 140°C, by Canusa-CPS

Product Description

The Canusa-CPS GTS-PP system provides excellent adhesion and superior corrosion protection to polypropylene coated pipelines. GTS-PP has been designed with a patented unique cross-linked polypropylene backing and modified polypropylene adhesive. The combination allows sleeve recovery and bonding to polypropylene mainline coatings. Lower preheats are required versus other systems and superior bonding is achieved without damaging the factory applied 3LPP coating during installation.

Features & Benefits

• High Performance Components: Canusa has developed a high temperature resistant epoxy primer for GTS-PP and, using Canusa’s proven method of force curing the primer, provides the assurance that the pipe is fully protected prior to sleeve application.
   
• Unique Adhesion Technology: Canusa's unique adhesive technology allows for lower installation pre-heats and superior bonding to polypropylene coatings. The adhesive has been formulated to bond directly to the factory applied 3LPP coating while the epoxy is applied to the steel only. The result is a superior bond to the substrate and quicker application.
   
• Long-Term Corrosion Protection: GTS-PP provides superior corrosion protection because of the high performance system approach. The epoxy primer / sleeve combination provides protection with the structural integrity of an extruded coating, resulting in excellent resistance to cathodic disbondment and excellent durability against abrasion and chemical attack. The result is effective, long-term protection against corrosion.
   
• Rapid, Reliable and Safe Installation: Time is saved in three ways; lower installation temperatures means less time for heating and cooling; liquid epoxy applied on the steel only, means less time applying the epoxy; and the pre-manufactured sleeve means less time in handling, positioning and installation. The overall system minimizes installation time and labor costs while promoting high production rates. The 100% solids based, solvent free liquid epoxy primer and pre-manufactured polypropylene sleeve also eliminate the need to spray harmful components during installation, as is required for other more complex field-applied PP coating systems.
   
• Patented Technology: Canusa-CPS has secured US and European patents and corresponding patents in other parts of the world for its GTS-PP technology.
