LYNDHURST, N.J , Aug. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Newly released Tuff-N-Nuff® with Rapid-Edge technology is a self-fastening rockshield product, designed with hook-and-loop closure for quicker and less costly installation. The product protects pipeline coatings from direct impact during backfill operations.

Tuff-N-Nuff® rockshield is comprised of small diameter strands of flexible PVC to form a porous, non-woven mat that will not trap water against the pipeline. The strands are bonded together in a controlled, random pattern during production. With the new Rapid-Edge installation feature, the product is installed in two steps: the roll is placed over the pipe, then the edges are simply pressed together to continuously secure to the pipe. Tuff-N-Nuff® with Rapid-Edge is produced in the United States with the same durable formula as its namesake predecessor that has been on the market for over 30 years to date. "Rapid-Edge is tackling some of the Oil and Gas Pipeline industry's biggest issues by reducing cost, application time, and need for manpower, while improving jobsite safety," stated Kyle Loyd , Executive Vice President of Engineered Concrete and Waterproofing Systems from Sika Corporation. "We are very excited to be announcing this much-needed advancement in rockshield technology."

Tuff-N-Nuff® with Rapid-Edge offers an economic solution for the rapid installation of rockshield, along with the following features:

The product is manufactured at Sika's St. Louis, MO facility. Tuff-N-Nuff® with Rapid-Edge will be available in all standard rolls sizes to match any pipeline diameter up to 22".
