POLYPROPILENE PIPING STRUCTURED WITH FIBERGLASS REINFORCED PLASTIC

The Composite Laminate Technology has proved to be very efficient in terms of investment/useful life. Fibra Ingeniería y Construcción has used this technology for over 15 years with a long history of successful projects and works.

Piping fabricated with this method of composite laminate are made with the filament winding process using Vinylester resin reinforced with fibreglass as a structural barrier and a thermoplastic liner as a chemical barrier.

The outstanding mechanical properties of the resin reinforced with fibreglass, added to the great resistance to chemicals and temperature possessed by the POLYPROPILENE result in a piping of great efficiency when fluids that are corrosive, hot and under pressure must be handled.

Piping is of low weight, which reduces shipping costs, requires lighter supports, its inner surface is smooth, has minimal friction, is easy to clean and is maintenance-free.

On the outside, the piping has a resin-rich surface with UV inhibitor, providing excellent resistance to outdoor environments.

For all the diameters shown in the table below there are fittings such as 90 degree and 45 degree elbows, tees, concentric and eccentric reducing couplings and flanges.

Coupling systems may be by butt welding or loose flange and bushing.

The maximum temperature for a POLYPROPILENE liner is 100 degrees C, depending on the fluid concentration.
