New Inner Canalizing Technology with Vapour Hardening Material
Abstract
The Liner is a composite sandwich construction using multiple layers of Owens Corning Advantex extra corrosion resistant fiberglass, forming a complex unidirectional reinforced structure. This construction achives an unmatched strenght permitting a thinner wall and therefore less reduction of the original diameter. The ring stiffness is very important. The unique design of the Liner gives a very high E-Moduls performance of 10.000 MPa which is unmatched by any other liner on the market. The longitudial reinforcement ensures complete stability troughout the length and prevent any elongation caused by the installation process. The Liner is constructed using extra corrosion resistant fiberglass. The inside of the liner is covered with a polyester veil rich of resin, forming a very smooth and glass-hard surface. In Combination with the unique post-curing at 110 °C, a very high resistance to abrasion and chemicals is achieved.
