Abstract

Thermoshrinkable or thermoexpansive tubes for corrosion prevention or lining of piping are disclosed which have their inner and/or outer walls covered with at least one protective cover to keep them clean from dust, dirt, water or any other foreign matter which might interfere with adhesion to the pipe connection, thus causing corrosion or poor lining.
