Heatshrink Sleeves

GTS-65 EN

The GTS-65-EN system provides superior protection and excellent bonding on pipelines operating up to 65⁰C. GTS-65-EN has been designed with a unique adhesive technology that remains “open” longer than traditional adhesives. As a result, lower preheat temperatures are required to attain true adhesive wet-out and superior bonding to parent coating surfaces. GTS-65-EN can be used in conjunction with Canusa-CPS’s forced cure Liquid Epoxy Type E-WF or as 2-layer coating without liquid epoxy

SUPERIOR FORCE CURED EPOXY

• Proven method of force curing the liquid epoxy to the streel allows the installer to “pre-inspect” the joint before sleeve application.
• Force cured epoxy cannot be displaced during the aligning and shrinking stages of the sleeve installation.

UNIQUE ADHESIVE TECHNOLOGY

• Hybrid adhesive with excellent compatibility performance to different pipe coatings.
• Adhesive has been formulated to bond directly to epoxy is applied to the steel only. Consult your Canusa-CPS representative for more information.

FLEXIBLE INSTALLATION

• Lower pre-heat means less time heating.
• GTS-65 can be used as either a 2-layer or 3-layer sleeve system with the same low pre-heat temperature.
• For added flexibility, the sleeve can be supplied as bulk rolls or pre-cut to the required pipe size.

LONG TERM CORROSION PROTECTION

• Provides a protective coating with the structural integrity of a seamless tube, proving excellent resistance to catholic disbondment and excellent durability against water immersion and chemical attack.
• Canusa GTS-65-EN meets the requirements of EN12068 class C50 UV.

GTS-65-ISO

The GTS-65-ISO system provides superior corrosion protection and excellent bonding on pipelines operating up to 65⁰C. GTS-65-ISO has been designed with a unique adhesive technology that allows application with wet or forced cured epoxy. GTS-65-ISO is used in conjunction with Canusa-CPS's liquid epoxy Type E-WF and provide lasting coating performance as long as a 3-layer factory applied coating.

UNIQUE ADHESIVE TECHNOLOGY

• Copolymer adhesive with excellent shear resistance.
• Epoxy formulation compatible with both wet and force cure methodology to meet needs in variety of different project environments. Please refer to project Installation Guidelines or consult your Canusa-CPS representative for more information.
• Adhesive has been formulated to bond directly to parent 3LPE coating in this case epoxy is applied to the steel only. For the type of parent coating please consult your Canusa-CPS representative for more information.

FLEXIBLE INSTALLATION

• Lower pre-heat means less time heating.
• For added flexibility, the sleeve can be supplied as bulk rolls or pre-cut to the required pipe size.

LONG TERM CORROSION PROTECTION

• Provides a protective coating with the structural integrity of a seamless tube, providing excellent resistance to cathodic disbondment and excellent durability against abrasion and chemical attack.
• Canusa GTS-65-ISO system meets the requirements of ISO21809-3 Type 14B1(60⁰C) and EN12068 C60 HT UV.

GTS-80-ISO

The GTS-80-ISO system provides superior corrosion protection and excellent bonding on pipelines operating up to 85⁰C. GTS-80-ISO has been designed with a unique adhesive technology “in tune” with Liquid Epoxy Type S-80 primer layer. As a result, lower preheat temperatures are required to attain true adhesive wet-out and superior bonding to parent coating surfaces. GTS-80-ISO wrap-around heat shrink sleeve is applied over wet epoxy primer layer, providing lasting coating performance equivalent to 3-layer factory applied polyethylene coatings.

UNIQUE TECHNOLOGY

• Durable crosslinked highdensity polyethylene backing combined with unique adhesive technology to provide excellent peel strength and shear resistance at high temperature.

ENHANCED CHEMICAL AND MECHANICAL BOND

• GTS-80-ISO hotmelt adhesive and Liquid Epoxy Type S-80 formulas have been specifically engineered to establish strong bond with prepared pipe surface and parent coating surface resulting in a high performance 3-Layer system with unmatched long-term performances.

FLEXIBLE INSTALLATION

• Lower pre-heat means less time heating.
• For added flexibility, the sleeve can be supplied as bulk rolls or pre-cut to the required pipe size.

LONG TERM CORROSION PROTECTION

• Provides a protective coating with the structural integrity of a seamless tube, providing excellent resistance to cathodic disbondment and excellent durability against abrasion and chemical attack.
• Canusa GTS-80-ISO system meets the requirements of ISO21809-3 Type 14B2 (80⁰C) and EN12068 C80 HT UV.

GTS-PE

Factory Grade 3LPE Field-Applied Coating System

The GTS-PE 3LPE coating system is the World’s first heat recoverable coating system designed with Factory Grade 3LPE materials, delivering equivalent performance to the factory-applied 3LPE coating.  Compared to other Factory Grade 3LPE coating systems, GTS-PE provides very low installation temperatures and a proven, uniform and repeatable application process.

FACTORY GRADE 3LPE COACTING TECHNOLOGY

• Polyethylene HDPE top coat delivers mechanical protection and resistance to moisture absorption that is equivalent to the factory-applied coating.
• High temperature liquid epoxy on steel provides Factory Grade resistance to corrosion and cathodic disbondment and allows for low installation temperatures.
• PE copolymer layer bonds the PE top coat to the epoxy and fuses to the factory-applied coating to eliminate the possibility of moisture ingress.

CONSISTENT END-TO-END 3LPE COATING PERFORMANCE

• Proven to provide consistent fusion to the factory-applied 3LPE coating.
• A true 3LPE coating system with outer layers applied onto pre-cured epoxy layer for a guaranteed corrosion protection layer.
• Proven on projects requiring the most advanced 3LPE coating performance, including reeling applications and large diameter directional drilling.

EASY TO INSTALL WITH PROCESS CONTROL

• Factory Grade performance is achieved with remarkably low installation temperatures for added repeatability.
• Can be installed directly by contractors, supported by Canusa-CPS ’industry leading field service team, using uniform and controlled induction pre-heating technology.
• Can be combined with the patented IntelliCOAT system, providing a fully automated, efficient and safe installation.

GTS-PE

Factory Grade 3LPP Field-Applied Coating System

Launched in 2000, the GTS-PP 3LPP coating system remains the world’s leading joint coating for 3LPP coated pipelines.  Its patented design uses Factory Grade polypropylene materials to deliver equivalent performance to, and fusion to, the factory-applied 3LPP coating with low installation temperatures and a proven and controlled application process.
