Trans Wrap™ - Carbon Fiber Pipeline Repair System
Description
Trans-Wrap™ is a bidirectional non-woven 100% carbon fiber composite, saturated with NRI’s proprietary epoxy system, Thermo-Poxy™. The Trans-Wrap carbon fiber is oriented in the 0° / 90° directions and is stitched resulting in outstanding tensile values in both directions. It has a high thickness per layer resulting in fewer layers needed for reinforcement and quicker applications.
The Thermo-Poxy Epoxy system is a two-part, 100% solid epoxy designed for use in a wide variety of environments possessing excellent chemical resistance and high temperature ratings.
Typical Applications:
- Pipeline Repair
- Containment and shear reinforcement
- Bridge column repair
- Pile repair
Benefits:
- Long working time even in hot environments
- High temperature rating with an ambient cured epoxy
- Thick laminate for cost effective installation
- Applicable in damp and wet environments
- High strength and light weight
- Manufactured in ISO 9001 certified facility
- Full factory engineering calculations, consultation, and support ensuring safe and successful repairs
