Pipeline sealing
The Riser-Wrap seal is a two-layer system designed for corrosion and sealing protection on pipelines and encapsulating manholes to seal joints against ground water infiltration. The first layer is a liquid sealant covered by heat shrink sleeve. (2.5mm cross-linked, high density polyethylene membrane.) Applications are for pipelines, manhole encapsulation, repair and step-down joints.
