Polyguard RD-6 Coating System

ILPS is pleased to be the Alberta and Saskatchewan representative for Polyguard Products, Inc. RD-6 Coating System for line pipe and girth welds.  Based in Ennis, Texas, Polyguard provides the pipeline industry with a fast and effective solution for pipeline coating and re-coating projects. 

Some of the advantages of the RD-6 Coating System include:

• Fast and Easy Application
• Non- Shielding of Cathodic Protection currents
• High Strength and Low Stretchability (Elongation) Geotextile Backing
• Excellent Resistance to High Temperature and Cathodic Disbondment
• Ability to Backfill Immediately after application
• Elastomeric Properties accommodate normal substrate expansion and contraction

While the RD-6 Coating System comes in rolls, similar to traditional tape coatings, RD-6 is considerably different and should not be viewed as another tape coating.  Compared with traditional tape coating, the RD-6 coating system geotextile backing is many times stronger and far less stretchable than solid film back tapes; as well, the RD-6 Coating System does not shield cathodic protection currents.
