PSI Fibertec is a resistant, glass fibre reinforced composite plastic. It offers ideal mechanical protection for pipe coatings and is completely watertight. It adheres to almost any type of surface, such as metal, PE, PVC, PP, stoneware, GRP materials and concrete. In addition, the high-tech material is highly resistant to chemicals. Fibertec is supplied in rolls (0.95 x 10 m, material thickness 1.8 to 2 mm), is exceptionally flexible to work with and can be adapted to surfaces without any problems. It cures in sunlight or under a UV lamp. After curing (curing time depending on sunshine between 30 minutes and 8 hours, with UV lamp depending onstrength between 20 and 60 minutes) the surface can be mechanically processed and coated. There are many applications: as horizontal drill kit, to protect pipe coating, for ground-air transitions, for shaft linings, etc. Designed as an open system, subsequent installation is possible.

PSI Pipecast is the latest development in the field of composite plastics to protect pipes against specific mechanical loading (e.g. horizontal drilling, etc.). Pipecast is a resinsaturated fibreglass fabric (GRP), which is activated with water.

PSI Pipecast is packed in airtight aluminium foil bags, in ready-to-use condition.No mixing of components on site is required. Simply immerse in luke warm waterfor around 15 seconds. The reaction time of the resin is approx. 3 minutes, PSI Pipecast is hard in less than 30 minutes, completely cured in 12 hours (at 21 °C). The innovative fibreglass/resin material is highly resistant to chemicals, can withstand both high and low temperatures and can even be applied under water.

Advantages

• Short curing time, rapid installation
• Simple and easy to apply; no mixing of components required
• Resistant to extreme temperatures
• Can be applied under water and on a damp surface
• Outstanding adhesion and resistance to chemicals, particularly mineral oil products
• Can be shaped to provide mechanical protection for complicated parts
  
  

Typical uses:
Mechanical protection of pipes, particularly suitable as corrosion protection system for HDD in combination with the exceptionally shear resistant Canusa WLAS shrink sleeve (DIN/EN approved to category C/50). Safe and secure retrospective coating of cutbacks at welded seams of pre-insulated pipes with PSI Pipecast. 

Pipe protection fleece is an outstanding economical alternative to traditional bedding in sand.The relevant regulations governing pipe bedding, filling and sealing are to be observed at all times. In particular, DIN 1612, DIN 18300 and the DVGW worksheets G462, G463 and G472 apply here. The PSI rock shield fleece is made 100% of mechanically compressed PP/PES. It is offered with a higher impact strength of 5800 N, suitable for a wide range of applications. With an overlap of approx. 10 cm and a gentle propane gas flame, the PSI rock shield fleece can be welded safely. PSI Rockshield fleece is also suitable for example to separate subsequent pipe coating systems from.

The ideal alternative to protection with sand PSI Rock Shield Net is indispensable if it is not possible to create an adequate sand bed when laying the pipe, or if using coarsely grained excavation material or when working in rocky ground. The PSI Rock Shield Net has proven its worth for sewer pipes as well which will not work with a sand bed. For shaft and house connections which are frequently dug up, we also recommend using PSI Rock Shield Nets as additional protection.

Advantages which are worth having:

• Cost savings by saving on filler material, transport and waste disposal costs
• stretchy polyethylene material
• highly malleable, close-meshed
• high impact resistance
• resistant to microbes and soil bacteria, moisture, etc.
• UV-stabilised

Installation:
Lay a net around the pipe with 80-100 mm overlap. Seal with a PSI connecting clip, adhesive tape or weld with a gentle propane gas flame.
