Description: The patented Scar-Guard™ line of products is designed to protect field joint coatings from the abrasion stresses and scarring of directional drilling, boring, and horizontal directional drilling (HDD), minimizing the need for spot repairs after a pull back, while providing long-term protection. U.S. Patent #8522827 Typical Applications: - Abrasion-resistant overcoating (ARO) for HDD, drilling and boring applications
- Coating protection for pre-approved coatings such as epoxies, shrink sleeves, and cold- or hot-applied tapes
- Sacrificial outer laminate in rocky environments
Benefits:- Low profile reduces damage during pull-through
- Non-shielding
- Non-hazardous
- Easy installation
Polyurethane Benefits:- Pre-impregnated, no-field-mixing or saturation required
- Moisture-cured
Epoxy Benefits:- Pre-saturated
- Increased bond strength and hardness allows for more adverse soil conditions
- Extended working time for hot climates
