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.
