Sustainable Composite Pipe Repair Technology: Lowering Environmental Impact without Compromising Performance
BioWrap 102 is at the forefront of sustainable composite technology. It utilises a two-component epoxy "bio" resin system that, once mixed, has a plant-based chemical content of ~27%.
The performance of our BioWrap 102 composite system is not at all compromised. It uses the same chemicals as "normal" epoxy resins, except the chemicals are derived from plant-based sources rather than petrochemical sources.
BioWrap 102 combines our high performance bio-resin with a glass fibre quad axial fabric. This consists of four layers positioned in four different orientations, 0°/90°/+45°/-45°. This ensures that no matter the geometry of the pipework the fibres in our BioWrap 102 composite system are closely aligned to the hoop direction for maximum pressure retention.
Sustainable Composite Technology: Our BioWrap 102 resin derives a key component of epoxy resins - Epichlorohydrin - from renewable plant-based Glycerol, rather than petroleum based Propylene.
~27% plant-based resin system: Once the two-component epoxy resin is mixed the overall plant-based content is ~27%, amongst the highest in the industry.
Uncompromising performance: The performance of BioWrap 102 is uncompromised, it simply has the same chemicals derived from plant-based sources rather than petroleum souces.
Qualified to Industry Standards: BioWrap 102 has been rigorously tested and found to exceed the requirements of both ISO 24817 & ASME PCC-2.
Leak and Non-Leaking Defects: BioWrap 102 has been tested and found suitable for repairing both leaking and non-leaking defects.
At Icarus Composites, we make sure to test our Composite Materials to the most stringent industrial standards ensuring we deliver the highest quality composite pipe and tank repairs possible.
Our Composite Systems are qualified to both ISO 24817 & ASME PCC-2 to make sure they meet the requirements of both international standards.
