Pipeline Coating
POLYGUARD RD-6 COATING SYSTEM consists of a geotextile backed protective pipeline coating applied over a companion liquid adhesive and a slip-plane outer wrap. Corrosion protection comes from a rubberized bitumen coating. Bonded to the outside surface of this coating is a strong, tightly woven, polypropylene geotextile, which provides non-shielding properties plus exceptional strength. It is suitable for use with pipeline external surface temperatures not exceeding 145ºF (63ºC). RD-6 has been used since 1988, with extraordinary results for effective corrosion protection all through the
intervening years.
The coating is supplied in rolls for easy application by manual or power operated machines. Since RD-6 is supplied with a silicone coated separator sheet to keep the layers from sticking to each other, application machines have two spindles, one for coating unwind and one to take up the separator
sheet as coating is applied.
RD-6 can also be applied manually, without machine. However, it is important to recognize that much more tension can and should be used during its application than is normal for other types of products.
