ViperSkin™ is the first bi-axial, hybrid carbon and glass fiber, pre-saturated system to blend the unsurpassed strength and stiffness of carbon with the ease and use of a moisture-cured, factory-saturated polyurethane. The pre-saturated system ensures appropriate fiber-to-resin content ratios to deliver reliable performance in restoring pipeline integrity on lines with complex geometry.
Applications
- Transmission and distribution pipelines
- Energy risers and subsea structures
- Process piping: chemicals, oil, gases, water, and steam
- Mechanical dents and defects
- Girth welds on vessels and pipelines
- Straight pipelines, elbows, tees, and flanges
Benefits
- Factory saturation of moisture-cured polyurethane resin reduces composite field preparation time by more than 50%
- Factory saturation ensures the right fiber-to resin ratio with constant strength and mechanical properties
- Easy application in any conditions, including damp or sweating pipes and in submerged environments
- No heating or post-curing
- Suitable for irregular shapes and geometries
- Can be used on lines of any diameter
