Winn & Coales (Denso) Ltd Announce the Launch of Denso Bore-Wrap™

Winn & Coales (Denso) Ltd are delighted to introduce a new addition to the Denso product line – Denso Bore-Wrap™.

Denso Bore-Wrap is an Abrasion Resistant Outerwrap (ARO) which has outstanding performance against impact, gouge, abrasion, and fracture. Denso Bore-Wrap creates a superior sacrificial outer laminate layer, which protects both pre-approved field joint coatings and mainline coatings (such as, liquid epoxy coatings, heat shrink sleeves, 3LPE, 3LPP and FBE coatings) from damage during pipeline installations, in difficult terrain or by means of trenchless installation methods, such as directional drilling, HDD or boring.

Denso Bore-Wrap is easily applied in the field; there is no mixing required, it is simply wrapped over the existing pipeline coating and cured with water. Due to its flexibility and exceptional level of mechanical protection, Denso Bore-Wrap minimises the need for costly spot repairs or re-pulling pipe from damage.

Chairman of Winn & Coales (Denso) Ltd, Chris Winn, is excited about the introduction of Denso Bore-Wrap and the potential that this new development will bring. He said,

“At Winn & Coales (Denso), we are always striving to innovate and provide our customers with the most up-to-date solutions for their corrosion prevention problems. The introduction of Denso Bore-Wrap to the Denso product range is an exciting development, and really cements our position as market leaders.”
