Thermo Wrap™ CF carbon fiber composite repair system for high temperature and process piping
PRODUCT INFORMATION
Thermo Wrap™ CF carbon fiber composite repair system for high temperature and process piping
Thermo-Wrap™CF is a custom engineered carbon fiber composite system utilizing a high strength, biaxial hybrid carbon and glass fiber in conjunction with NRI’s proprietary Thermo-Poxy™ epoxy system for the repair and restoration of pipes operating at elevated temperatures. This composite system was designed and tested to repair defects in accordance with the ASME PCC-2 and ISO TS-24817.
Thermo-Wrap CF is specifically designed for repair applications which require the composite to maintain the high design strengths in high temperature environments, while still curing under room temperature conditions.
- Ideal for flare lines
- Steam piping
- Girth welds, elbows, tees
- Anywhere elevated temperatures are of concern or expected
- High temperature rating with an ambient cured epoxy
- No heating or post-curing required
- Full factory engineering calculations, consultation, and support
- High tensile strength and stiffness
- VOCs: None
- Cure Time:
- Approx. 18 hrs @ 75°F (24°C)
- Approx. 3 hrs @ 280°F (138°C)
- Service Temperature: Max: Up to 300°F (149°C)
- Application Temperature: 50 to 200°F (5 to 93°C)
- Shelf Life (epoxy): 12 Months
