Mesh™ PE 11
Is an extruded carbon black polyethylene air-cushioned mesh.
Allter-Mesh™ PE 11 is a 11mm. thick extruded air-cushioned diamond shaped PE mesh for protecting coated pipelines from rock backfill when a thick sand collar is no option. Allter-Mesh™ PE 11 is also offering protection to coated pipelines from other abrasive sources caused by soil settlement and other geological movements. The material is absorbing high impact forces because of its air-cushioned properties and is, depending on the pipe diameter, longitudinally, spirally or circumferentially wrapped around the pipeline and secured by polymeric strapping.
The alternate for utility pipe coatings
Objective
The objective is the provision of aboveground paint coating solutions that are friendly to humans and the environment and unique in their composition and effectiveness on damp surfaces. Allter® aims to supply a universal next generation primer that is simply the best for long-term corrosion protection of durable assets from a holistic, TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) point of view, with an optimum lifespan of 15 years at up to 230 degrees Celsius.
