Flange Guards UK Safety Spray Shields Solutions
SUREBAND Clear
All-PTFE. Outlasts conventional PTFE- COATED fibreglass shields in corrosive environments.
SUREBAND Steel
All-316 ST/ST banding and mesh. Suitable for high pressure and temperature applications.
SUREBAND Marine
Specifically for marine engine room solas applications.
SAFER
Our PDT technology makes Sureband THE most cost effective shield design on the market. Be sure, be safe, choose Flangeguards.
QUICKER
No pull-cords. Quick fit connection cuts install time
dramatically, saving time &
money. Operators are more inclined to re-fit after removal.
BETTER
Best-in-class materials of
construction and
performance.
PDT Technology
Pressure Diffusion Technology (PDT)
PDT Mechanism
• PDT (Pressure Diffusion Technology) uses a specially formulated multi-layered mesh that is held against the flange.
• The pressure is diffused in a controlled manor thus preventing formation of a mist/vapour cloud.
• At the point of exit from the shield, the leak takes the form of a safe, vertical drip or stream.
• Our leak testing facility has proven that pressure diffusion is required to prevent spray and mist formation.
• However, many shield designs have no diffusion – and this can actually create a worse leak than no shield at all.
FABRIC Safety Shields
Introduction to FABRIC Safety Shields
• The original wrap-round safety shield design, used extensively throughout industry.
Purpose of Safety Shields
• Safety Shields are fitted to pipe joints to stop:
• Spray-Out / Splashing
• Mist Formation
Typical Applications of Safety Shields
• Oil (Fuel, Lube, Thermal, Hydraulic)
• Acid
• Caustic
• High Pressure Steam
FABRIC Safety Shields
Two-layer PVC shield, offered as a
low-cost alternative, where process
conditions allow. Typically used for
low corrosion applications for
ambient pressure and temperature
conditions.

SUREBAND Marine
Introduction
• SUREBAND Marine is a simple and cost-effective solution.
Overcoming Issues
• Overcoming issues relating to conventional ANTI-SPLASH tape.
Flexibility
• With 3 shields covering 139 flange sizes, SUREBAND Marine offers unparalleled flexibility.
Additional Option
• Additionally, we offer a 10m roll which can be cut and used to fit virtually any flange (standard or non-standard).
Cost comparison between SUREBAND Marine and ANTI-SPLASH tape
ANTI-SPLASH Tape
• ANTI-SPLASH Tape is a single-use product, which must be peeled or cut off during maintance, with new tape applied afterwards.
• Over the vessel lifetime, this becomes increasingly expensive, sourcing new tape from ship chandlers.
Cost per flange
• Cost per flange depends on several factors.
• Most important is the way the tape is installed.
• Manufacturer’s instructions specify that flanges are wrapped down to the pipe.
SUREBAND Marine
• SUREBAND Marine is fitted and removed in seconds (no tools).
• This means it can be reused after maintenance, proving a long-term solution.
• Three sizes fit multiple flanges and for ultimate flexibility, a 10 metre roll is available.
