Poly-Glass - A Composite Of Polymer Concrete And GRP
Poly-Glass Pipe is the most cost-effective pipe in the market. Having a strength greater than concrete whilst combining the corrosion resistance of GRP
Poly-Glass Pipe is a composite of a Glass Reinforced Plastic Pipe and an outer structural wall of Polymer Concrete. The unique design, which is subject to an international patent, consists of a GRP Pipe incorporating its own socket, inside a polymer concrete pipe.
Poly-Glass Pipes are suitable for use as gravity pipes in highly corrosive conditions for carrying aggressive corrosive liquids such as chemicals and septic sewage. It can also be used as a pressure pipe for carrying potable water or corrosive liquids.
Polymer Concrete is a composite of polyester resin and fillers such as silica sand and stone aggregate.
They do not use cement or water and rely only on the resin to act as the bonding agent.
When combined together in a special computer-controlled mixer, polymer concrete gives considerable higher strengths when compared to conventional concrete.
GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) has been accepted and used as a pipe material for over thirty years. Its use being well documented.
The corrosion resistance of GRP is second to none. It has the ability to work at high or low temperatures in very corrosive environments.
GRP pipes manufactured by the filament winding process using precise controlled helix angles have proved to give a pipe with optimum mechanical properties in both longitudinal and circumferential directions.
