SAIG stands for Shear, Abrasion, Impact, and Gouge. These are the four major forces that damage coatings during HDD installations. Bore-Wrap® is specifically engineered to protect against all four, ensuring your pipeline coating survives pullback.
Yes, the poly-wrap is not a structural component of the Bore-Wrap system. It’s sole purpose is to compress the resin during the cure process. If it is not removed, it will begin to tear off inside the whole and possibly create hole obstructions or points that can shield CP. When removing, small bits may get stuck in the resin, they will not impact the performance and can be left on the surface.
Carbon fiber provides high-strength reinforcement while remaining lightweight and easy to apply compared to many traditional repair alternatives. When used as part of the Protal 2800CF system, it helps restore structural performance and provides a durable repair solution for damaged pipe sections.
Protal 2800CF utilizes a factory pre-saturated carbon fiber wrap, making it easier and faster to install in the field while providing effective reinforcement for metal loss defects and plain dents, along with reliable corrosion protection. Protal 3200CF utilizes a field-saturated carbon fiber system combined with high-strength filler and Protal 7200 corrosion barrier epoxy, delivering greater structural performance for more demanding repairs involving severe metal loss, weld defects, dynamic dents, wrinkle bends, crack-like defects, cyclic fatigue, and elevated temperature service.
Protal 3200CF is ideal for demanding repair applications because it combines carbon fiber composite reinforcement with Protal 7200 high-build corrosion barrier epoxy. This provides a higher level of structural support and long-term corrosion protection for critical pipelines, piping, risers and pressure vessels operating in challenging environments.
Protal 3200CF helps protect repaired areas by combining composite reinforcement with a high-build corrosion barrier epoxy. This helps shield the substrate from moisture, chemicals, and corrosive environments while supporting long-term asset integrity.
