Kleerband® Flange Band Protectors
Kleerband® Flange Band Protectors eliminate the possibility of foreign matter lodging or corrosion building up between flange faces. Flanges tend to be the most common trouble area in a CP System and need to be sealed properly to prevent leakage. These areas must also be cathodically isolated to prevent stray currents that can cause undo corrosion and eventual breakdown of the metal.
APS manufactures and maintains a supply of quality products and materials which help solve most flange sealing problems, therefore preventing subsequent corrosion and saving the integrity of the pipeline.
