Coatseal (Formally Rayseal) |
Description
Coatseal (formally known as Rayseal) is an electrically-shrinkable sealing sleeve, and is used in low pressure gas systems for the sealing of leaking caulked / screwed bell and spigot joints where the use of a naked flame or heat gun is not a viable option. The wraparound sleeve is manufactured from modified crosslinked polyolefin coated with a thermoplastic sealing adhesive. The mastic sealing profile supplied with the sleeve serves to fill out the transitional zone between the bell and the pipe. In the supplied condition the sleeve is expanded to allow it to be conveniently fitted onto the caulked/screwed bell-and spigot joint. It is closed by means of a flexible chromium-nickel steel channel. When electrically heated, the sleeve shrinks tightly onto the leaking caulked/ screwed bell-and-spigot joint, completely sealing it off, while the sealing adhesive and the sealing profile melt and are forced into any cavities or irregularities.
