Pipe Shield Technology

Pipe Shield utilizes the benefits of compressed air technology to apply an epoxy liner to the inside surface of small diameter pipes (1/2" and larger). Piping systems for domestic hot and cold water, heating and process piping are rehabilitated "in place" without the aftermath of costly renovation work to walls, ceilings and floors associated with conventional repair methods. The epoxy coating is applied after the existing pipe is dried and cleaned by the use of compressed air and an abrasive material. Quality assurance is performed by using a fiber optic video scope capable of passing through a 3/8" pipe at all stages of the process. The Pipe Shield process is a quick, clean and economical solution to restore aged, galvanized, lead and copper piping systems to a better than new performance and condition.

Product Description

A specially formulated insitu epoxy resin developed for Pipe Shield for use in small diameter hot and cold water pipelines. The epoxy coating is a product of highly advanced resin technology and is certified to ANSI/NSF standard 61. After application, the epoxy coating creates an impermeable barrier between the water and the pipe material thereby preventing any further internal corrosion.

The Pipe Shield coating has a smooth, hard gloss finish with excellent water resistance and hydraulic profile. The thin, smooth coating enhances flow capacity of previously corroded piping enabling pressure reduction to be achieved. The coating is pinhole free and has a low propensity for blisters. Pipe Shield products are applied with specialized high tech equipment and trained plumbing personnel.
