Image: DensoDenso Bore-Wrap’s impressive HDD performance has been confirmed through rigorous independent testing. Gouge Test 1 tested with a simulated weld margin to represent side-impact strain and stress at field joints. Gouge Test 2 tested without a weld margin to assess overall material integrity in standard sections. In the weld margin configuration, it resisted gouging forces up to 1250kgF before disbondment – more than double the load required to compromise other tested systems. This is due to its high fibre content which provides enhanced durability under HDD stress, unlike more brittle UV-cured ARO systems.
