Pipes and Pipe Linings
Scott Bader has supplied polyester resins to GRP pipe and pipe liner manufacturers for over 40 years.
Much of the early development with GRP pipes was for applications in chemical plants.
Filament winding and centrifugal casting techniques produce light weight, low maintenance GRP pipes. These techniques have since found relevance in other markets and applications.
Major GRP Pipe Applications
Chemical plant pipework Underground piping Above ground pressure pipes Sewage piping Portable water distribution
Crystic Resins and Gelcoats
A complete range of proven Crystic products are offered for piping and lining applications. This includes chemically resistant resins and isophthalic acid based resins for sewage and water carrying pipework applications.
Pipe Jointing
Can be carried out using spigot and socket systems with gaskets. Polyester resin collars can easily be cast onto pipe ends and machined to the appropriate dimensions.
Resilient polyester resins containing a high loading of filler - such as ground silica flour - can be cold cured extremely rapidly and have proven ideal for the casting of pipe collars. Pipes can also be butted together and an overlay GRP joint wet laminatated on site.
Trenchless Pipe Repairs with GRP Liners
This in-situ repair work can be done using a cured-in-place GRP liner which is placed inside a damaged pipe then expanded to fit the existing pipe and simultaneously cured by pumping in hot water. The repair work can also be done using a pre-fabricated GRP slip liner which can be used to line 'living' piping systems.
Both pipe repair techniques are now used worldwide. Costs and disruption are kept to a minimum whilst essential repair work is carried out.
Scott Bader's long association with the GRP pipe and pipe lining markets and its technical expertise and range of proven products for the GRP pipe industry gives customers piece of mind and a real competitve advantage for their business.
