(Underline those that<br />
apply)<br />
Glass fiber rein<strong>for</strong>ced CIPP liner that is UV cured. The liner strength stems from<br />
a seamless, spirally wound glass fiber tube. Polyester, vinylester or ortho resins<br />
can be used. All wet out is per<strong>for</strong>med in the factory. The seamless liner has both<br />
an interior and exterior film, with the exterior film blocking UV light.<br />
• Glass fiber rein<strong>for</strong>ce wall thickness <strong>for</strong> higher strength and stiffness<br />
• Thinner wall than ordinary felt rein<strong>for</strong>ced liners<br />
• Good flow characteristics<br />
• Fast curing times <strong>for</strong> both small and large diameters (250 to 750 feet per<br />
hour)<br />
• Passed the APS Standard Porosity Test with score <strong>of</strong> 100%<br />
• Quality-Tracker System <strong>for</strong> tracking entire curing process (7 steps) with a<br />
data logger and retrieval system.<br />
• Reduced styrene emission during curing<br />
• Not NSF 61 listed – not suitable <strong>for</strong> potable water<br />
• No long-term pressure regression tests <strong>for</strong> establishing HDB <strong>for</strong> pressure<br />
pipe design – Class III <strong>for</strong> pressure applications only<br />
• 48 inches diameter is upper limited<br />
• Limited licensee contractor base in US at the moment<br />
