Covalence MEPS-65M

Quick Overview

The wrap-around MEPS-65M are heat-shrinkable socket joint corrosion protection coatings. MEPS-65M is typically used on steel or ductile iron pipes coated with PE, concrete or other coatings, i.e. paint and zinc. MEPS-65M is also used to coat reducers, bends and dielectrical joints. For specially designed bell & spigot type joints, please refer to our special range of products (TISK, TISW-F, TISKW-F). Construction: Two-layer system First layer: Visco-elastic adhesive sealant. Second layer: Thick-walled, radiation cross-linked, high density polyethylene. Features of the product include: backing with enhanced shrink ratio, high impact strength & high penetration resistance, fully retains the deflection and longitudinal movement of the socket joint, seal resists vibration, deflection and axial movement, no special filler needed, no primer needed, no special equipment needed, and low preheat requirements. Benefits of the product: conforms easily to socket joint shapes, virtually no risk of damage during operation, no break of the sealing ring, reliable, high-performance seal stops water ingress, simple 1 part installation, keeps installation costs low, and fast installation which saves time.
