Rock Shield is another important Denso anti-corrosion solution for pipelines.

Pipeline builders and maintenance personnel know that they can count on Denso North America for the top selection of tools for preventing corrosion. Although renowned for its range of high-quality anti-corrosion tapes and liquid coatings, the company also offers Denso Rock Shield. This is a special protective mesh for pipelines, designed to protect anti-corrosion coatings in the case of rocky backfill. Rock Shield’s lightweight material helps it to withstand harsh environmental conditions.

Available in Standard, Heavy Duty

Denso Rock Shield is available in both Standard- and Heavy-Duty versions, with the latter kind recommended for pipelines that have been built through rocky terrain. Both versions are extruded into a diamond mesh pattern. Environmentally stable and available in a broad range of sizes, this protective mesh is a flexible padding made out of high-density polyethylene, which incorporates a special expansion process that offers compressive strength and flexibility. Users can cut it with a utility knife.

Notable features and benefits of this Denso product include the following:

  • Absorption of the impact of uneven backfill.
  • Cost-efficiency.
  • Cushioning against concrete weights.
  • Easy installation.
  • Flexibility for easy handling, even in very low temperatures.
  • High impact and tensile strength.
  • Minimal abrasion of coating from underground pipe movement.
  • Porous mesh that enables water flow for cathodic protection and testing, with no inhibition of the cathodic flow.
  • Protection on coating from protruding rocks in the trench.
  • Protection of piping during future excavations.
  • Resistance to temperature extremes and wet weather.

This protective mesh is applied in a simple way. For pipelines with diameters of 450 millimetres (mm) or less, the material is unrolled parallel to the pipe and then wrapped around the pipeline in a longitudinal fashion. Next, the user fastens it with tape, buckles, or cable ties. With diameters greater than 450 mm, sheets should be pre-cut to match the pipe circumference, then wrapped around the pipe in a spiral way and fastened.

Rock Shield is the highly dependable solution for cost-effective, durable, lightweight, and solid protection of pipeline corrosion coatings.
